What Saga Ventures does
Saga Ventures is a venture capital firm whose website carries the line "Investing in what's next." A Business Wire release on the Hike Medical financing describes Max Altman as co-founder and managing partner of Saga Ventures.[1],[2]
Saga Ventures publishes company stories on its website, written by Thomson Nguyen, about investments including Dedalus Labs and Profound. The pages we could read do not state a check size, stage focus, headquarters or founding year.[1]
Saga Ventures has led rounds in insurance and healthcare companies. It led the Series C of home-insurance company Stand and the seed and Series A round of orthotics and prosthetics company Hike Medical, and it joined a strategic round in Promise, a generative AI studio.[3],[2],[4]
Funds
Saga Ventures I, LP is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 2024 that registered a venture capital fund offering with the SEC on Form D. The filing lists a total offering amount of $125,000,000, with $0 sold and the first sale yet to occur.[5],[6],[7]
Saga Ventures II, LP is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 2026 as a venture capital fund. Its Form D lists a total offering amount of $225,000,000, with $0 sold and the first sale yet to occur.[6],[5],[7],[8]
Saga Ventures Saria, LP was organized in 2025, according to its Form D. The filing lists a total offering amount of $3,000,000, reports $3,000,000 sold, and gives April 17, 2025 as the date of first sale.[9]
Saga Ventures Epona, LP was organized in 2026, according to its Form D. The filing lists a total offering amount of $35,000,000 and $0 sold.[7],[5],[6],[8]
Saga Ventures Mido, LP was organized in 2026, according to its Form D. The filing lists a total offering amount of $5,000,000, reports $5,000,000 sold, and gives 2026-10-06 as the date of first sale.[8],[6],[7]
Saga Ventures' Form D offering amounts are targets set by the issuer, and the amounts sold are as the issuer reported them. The Epona filing reports a first-sale date of 2026-03-30 alongside $0 sold, an inconsistency we have not resolved, so none of these figures is stated as committed capital or fund size.[7],[5],[6],[8]
