100-word summary
Air Street Capital reportedly closed a $232 million third fund to back AI startups across North America and Europe, though the firm hasn't officially confirmed it yet. That's nearly double the $121 million it raised for Fund II in 2023. The move would make Air Street Europe's largest solo general partner focused on AI, a notable claim in a market where most AI investors hunt in packs or rely on Silicon Valley motherships. Past bets include Synthesia and Wayve. The signal: Europe's AI scene might finally be producing enough breakout companies to sustain a nine-figure solo fund.
