LvlUp Ventures Ranked #3 Most Active Venture Capital Investor in the United States by LSEG
LSEG’s (London Stock Exchange Group) United States Venture Capital Review for the first half of 2026 ranks LvlUp Ventures as the #3 most active venture capital investor in the United States.
The recognition reflects the scale of LvlUp Ventures’ investment platform, which has backed and invested in more than 1,100 companies globally in less than five years.
LvlUp invests across stage, geography, and industry through a range of funds and programs. Its strategy is opportunistic by design, allowing the firm to deploy capital where it believes its operating capabilities, network, and strategic ecosystem can create meaningful value.
“LvlUp was built to identify strong companies early, make decisions efficiently, and remain actively engaged as those companies scale,” said Aaron Golbin, Co-Founder and General Partner of LvlUp Ventures. “The LSEG ranking reflects the scale of the platform we have built and the continued growth of our investment activity.”
A Multi-Strategy Investment Platform
The firm’s investment platform spans more than 15 funds and programs across distinct venture strategies, stages, and sectors.
The First Check Fund provides initial capital to hundreds of idea- and pre-seed-stage companies annually. LvlUp Labs and the Marketing Edge Accelerator combine investment exposure with operating support and access to strategic partners. The LvlUp Ventures Flagship Fund makes concentrated, high-conviction investments of up to $25 million in companies where the firm believes it can provide significant long-term strategic value.
LvlUp also operates dedicated sector strategies, including its Consumer Goods & Technology Fund and AI E-Commerce Fund, alongside additional vehicles and programs focused on specific stages, industries, and market opportunities. Together, these strategies allow the firm to invest across the venture lifecycle while maintaining flexibility in how it deploys capital and supports companies.
LvlUp Ventures also operates regional investment and ecosystem initiatives, including its MENA Global Investment Hub in Dubai, as part of the firm’s broader international platform.
Building Beyond Capital
Across its investment strategies, LvlUp combines capital with access to a broader ecosystem of corporate partners, investors, operators, and strategic advisors.
The firm works with companies across fundraising, business development, growth, market access, and strategic execution, while also creating connectivity across its portfolio through commercial relationships, operating resources, and partnership opportunities.
“Our investment activity is the result of a broader infrastructure that allows us to engage with companies at scale while maintaining flexibility across stage and sector,” said Brandon Maier, Co-Founder and General Partner of LvlUp Ventures. “We have intentionally built multiple investment strategies around a common platform so that we can support companies in different ways and at different points in their development.”
Scale Across the Platform
LvlUp has backed and invested in more than 1,100 companies globally across early- and later-stage venture investments.
The firm is also ranked by PitchBook among the most active venture capital firms worldwide, including #7 globally, #3 in the United States, and #1 in Consumer Goods & Technology.
As the platform continues to expand, LvlUp remains focused on investing where opportunity emerges across stage, geography, and industry, while continuing to build the operating infrastructure and strategic ecosystem around its portfolio.
