Valor Equity Partners is reportedly seeking to raise at least $2.5 billion for its seventh fund, Fund VII, according to Bloomberg. A portion of this capital is earmarked for continued investment in SpaceX, a company with which Valor and its founder, Antonio Gracias, have a long-standing relationship. Valor currently holds approximately 4% of SpaceX.
The investment thesis for Fund VII is not explicitly detailed, but Valor's historical investment patterns suggest a focus on scaling companies, particularly those in the growth stage.
