Most active corporate investors, Q2 2026

A Hamburg bank's venture arm, not Google or Salesforce, was the most active corporate investor of Q2 2026

Number of investments in Q2 2026 by the 20 most active corporate venture arms. All corporate venture activity totalled 1,087 deals, against 1,338 in Q2 2025 per Aranca's regional table. Highlighted bars are arms with a Family Office Club research profile (4 of 20).

This is a third-party league table, not our own count. Ties share a rank. Deal counts include follow-on rounds and depend on how Aranca assigns parents; 'Samsung Venture Investment' is a different entity from Samsung Catalyst Fund. Lifetime investments and exits are PitchBook totals as shown by Aranca. Aranca's headline says deal volume was down 12 percent year on year, while its table gives 1,338 for Q2 2025 (which would be a fall of about 19 percent, our arithmetic). We show the table figures and do not assert either percentage. Values are provisional.
