Early-stage VC firm expands AUM to $290M with high-conviction, concentrated strategy
Deciens Capital, a venture capital firm focused on financial services innovation, announced the successful close of Fund III with $93.33 million in limited partner commitments, bringing total assets under management to $290 million.
The fund reflects continued support for Deciens’ disciplined, high-conviction strategy. Both Funds I and II are top-quartile performers by TVPI, with Fund I ranking in the top decile for its vintage (based on Carta benchmarks).
"I started Deciens with the core belief that focus isn't a constraint; it's a superpower. It gives us clarity in a complex, noisy space," said Dan Kimerling, Founder and Managing Partner. "With Fund III, we're doubling down: investing early, going deep, and supporting founders with the insight only sustained focus makes possible."
The firm backs founders reimagining how financial services are created, distributed, and consumed. Notable investments include Chipper Cash, Treasury Prime, Sydecar, and beatBread.
Fund III has already deployed capital in four investments, including Grupago, Generous Energy, June Point Lending, and another in stealth. Deciens expects to back 12-15 companies from the fund, seeking meaningful ownership in large, winner-take-all markets.
"Fundraising is just the starting line. What matters most is how you show up afterward," said Ishan Sachdev, General Partner. "At Deciens, we partner early, stay close, and operate as a true extension of the founding team, working shoulder-to-shoulder to help build durable companies."
To support the expanded fund, Deciens has promoted Vishal Rana to Partner, Portfolio & Operations. Rana, formerly Operating Partner, has led portfolio support and fund strategy initiatives.
"Deciens' concentrated approach lets me do what I love: operate and support incredible founders who know the terrain and are serious about building. I've been on the other side, and I know firsthand how much real partnership can matter in the early days. That's what we aim to provide," said Rana.
Deciens remains committed to investing with focus, operating with discipline, and supporting founders building enduring companies in financial services.
