Clarus Ventures, LLC

Overview

Clarus Ventures, LLC is organized as a venture capital manager that provides portfolio management for pooled investment vehicles and serves an institutional client base. The firm registered with the SEC in 2019 and identifies itself as a venture capital fund manager rather than a multi-asset allocator. Its business model centers on operating and sponsoring pooled funds, charging a mix of percentage-of-AUM and performance-based fees, and acting as an active ESG investor — ESG considerations are part of its manager selection and fund-level due diligence. Clarus maintains a range of industry relationships, including ties to broker-dealers, banking and insurance firms, and serves as sponsor, general partner, or managing member of pooled investment vehicles. Clarus positions itself to deliver venture-focused exposure through both internally sponsored funds and relationships with third-party alternative managers. Its advisory activities are concentrated on pooled vehicles rather than discretionary retail accounts, and the firm’s structure and affiliations reflect a fund-centric approach to capital deployment and investor servicing.
