BASF Venture Capital invests in North American investment fund ARCH Venture Fund VII

Abstract:
BASF Venture Capital America Inc., Fremont, CA, has invested in ARCH Venture Fund VII - a venture capital fund managed by ARCH Venture Partners, Chicago, IL.

BASF Venture Capital will invest $5 million. Other investors in the fund are primarily universities, pension funds and financial institutions.

"ARCH is one of the most-respected venture capital funds in the U.S., supported by an impressive management team.
