Financial services. Healthcare. Insurance. Real estate. The technology layers underneath. Together: roughly half of GDP.
$33M fund, 2024 vintage, final close September 2025. Eleven portfolio companies; we led or co-led every investment, with top-tier institutional investors following in subsequent rounds. Year-end 2025 audited net IRR: 67%.

The institutional investors who have followed on into our Fund I positions know what we back. They refer the founders they encounter early, the ones too small or too early for them to lead, to a firm they know will move quickly and seriously when the thesis matches.
Jonathan and Steve have spent their careers inside the insurance industry. The senior operators they've worked with at carriers, brokers, MGAs, and reinsurers call us first when they meet a founder who should exist next. That access is structural, not borrowed.
Three years in, Crystal Venture Partners is the first call for founders building in or near insurance. Our Fund I founders refer the next ones; the founders we backed are now the most credible reference a new one can ask for.
