COSTA MESA, Calif., Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CerraCap Ventures and Impact Venture Capital today announced their merger to form CerraCap Impact Venture Capital (CIVC), creating one of the most globally connected venture platforms in the industry. The combined firm brings together an unmatched network of corporate customers, corporate investors, and strategic acquirers—positioning CIVC as a first-of-its-kind partner for founders needing rapid commercial validation and scalable enterprise adoption.

CIVC integrates CerraCap's Sales & Scale™ commercialization engine with Impact Venture Capital's Corporate Intelligence Platform™, a deep corporate development and investment network, spanning Fortune 500 companies and global strategic investors.

Operating at the intersection of enterprise AI, cybersecurity, digital health, national security, and advanced computing, CIVC will support founders building mission-critical technologies in sectors where commercial traction often depends on complex buyer landscapes. The firm's combined global footprint across North America, Europe, India, and emerging markets enables founders to access international customer and investor networks far earlier in their journey.
