(Flying Fish Photo)Flying Fish is looking for new opportunities.The Seattle-based venture capital firm is raising money for a new “Flying Fish Opportunity Fund I,” according to a new SEC filing. The firm declined to comment when reached by GeekWire on Thursday.Flying Fish launched in 2017 with a thesis focused on AI, machine learning, and robotics. It initially focused on startups across the Pacific Northwest but broadened its geographic reach to Canada and elsewhere after raising $70 million for its second fund in 2022.The “Opportunity Fund” could indicate that Flying Fish wants more capital to make follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies. It’s listed as a $25 million offering on the filing. Flying Fish raised $37 million for its first fund in 2018.A separate SEC filing in July revealed that Flying Fish is raising for a third fund
GeekWire’s in-depth startup coverage tells the stories of the Pacific Northwest entrepreneurial scene.Flying Fish managing partners, from left: Geoff Harris, Heather Redman, and Frank Chang. (Flying Fish Photo)Flying Fish, the Seattle-based venture capital firm founded in 2016, is raising a new fund.GeekWire spotted a new SEC filing on Friday revealing “Flying Fish Fund III.”The firm declined to comment in response to an inquiry.Flying Fish raised $70 million for its second fund in 2022, and raised $37 million for its first fund. It invests in early stage machine learning, AI, and robotics startups. The firm initially backed companies based in the Pacific Northwest but expanded its geographic reach after raising the second fund.“We still have a major emphasis here in our own backyard, and are big believers in this ecosystem,” Heather Redman, managing partner at Flying Fish, said at a Technology Alliance event in Seattle in June.The Flying Fish portfolio includes Symbl.ai, Vouched, Phaidra, Orbital Materials, TrojAI, Groundlight AI, Clarity, and other startups.“We tend to invest in things that are very highly centered around AI and require a lot of AI expertise,” Redman said during a panel discussion in Bellevue last month.Flying Fish invests in AI startups that build both platform technologies and vertical applications. It is also eyeing startups developing apps and services around reinforcement learning, according to Redman’s comments at the Technology Alliance event.AI startups are gobbling a big chunk of funding these days, raising nearly a third of all dollars during the second quarter, according to CBInsights.Venture capital firms, meanwhile, are raising far less money for their own funds compared to the 2021-22 boom times, driven in part by a lack of startup exits in recent years.The fundraising environment for venture capital firms “has become increasingly competitive,” wrote Ginger Chambless, head of research for commercial banking at JP Morgan, in a recent PitchBook-NVCA report.“LPs are becoming more selective, focusing on funds with a strong track record, clear differentiation, and robust value-add strategies,” Chambless wrote.A number of other Seattle-area venture firms have raised new funds over the past three years, including Madrona, Fuse, PSL Ventures, Trilogy Equity Partners, Founders’ Co-op, Unlock Venture Partners, and Graham & Walker.Flying Fish is led by Redman along with fellow managing partners Geoff Harris and Frank Chang.The Washington state Department of Commerce recently announced that it is participating as a Flying Fish investor through its Washington Small Business Credit Initiative
