BNVT Capital, a newly formed global venture capital firm, has launched its debut $150 million fund to invest in technology-driven startups working on solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

The firm was founded by Rory Mounsey-Heysham, Chris Corbishley, and Nasir Alsharif, and is positioning itself as a backer of “AI-first” companies developing products of artificial intelligence and critical industries such as health, climate, and infrastructure.

Alongside the fund, BNVT Capital has introduced the Benevolent Disruption platform and community, designed to connect founders, investors, and researchers focused on breakthrough innovation.

The launch comes at a time when the venture landscape is recalibrating. Funding for AI startups has accelerated sharply, with capital flowing into both foundational model developers and sector-specific applications.

At the same time, many investors have grown more selective, backing companies that pair strong technical innovation with measurable impact.
