Isomer said it helped Sompo’s innovation centre in Israel access European startups.

Japan-based insurer Sompo has expanded its corporate venturing activities into Europe with a commitment to UK-based Isomer Capital’s second fund of funds.

Isomer’s first fund raised over €100m ($113m) and made 34 investments (a mix of VC funds and direct co-investments in the startups). Isomer’s second fund, launched in July 2020, raised €250m and has made 20 investments.

Founded in 2015, Isomer said it helped Sompo’s innovation centre in Israel access European startups.
