18/05/2026

The release of the Dealroom Power Law Investor Ranking 2026 once again confirms a simple reality about venture capital: this industry is driven by asymmetric outcomes.

The ranking analyzed ~20,000 investors globally based on one core metric — the ability to identify and back companies that become unicorns and $100M+ revenue businesses early enough to matter.

We’re proud to see TA Ventures included among the investors recognized in this year’s ranking.

As Viktoriya Tigipko notes in a new article by The Future Media, venture capital today is no longer about geographic proximity or access alone. In a power-law market, what matters is the ability to consistently identify founders capable of building category-defining companies before consensus forms around them.

Over the years, TA Ventures has built its strategy around exactly this principle:
• early-stage conviction
• global founder networks
• asymmetric opportunities across markets
• long-term portfolio construction designed for power-law dynamics

Today, with AI, defense-tech, biotech, climate infrastructure, and deeptech reshaping global markets simultaneously, the importance of early conviction and global pattern recognition becomes even more critical.

Big milestone for our portfolio company Manifest 🚀

The company has raised a $60M Series A at a $750M valuation, as the legal industry rapidly shifts toward AI-native workflows.

Manifest is building AI-powered infrastructure for lawyers — helping them automate non-core tasks, unlock productivity, and ultimately increase earnings. In many cases, legal professionals spend up to two-thirds of their time on work that isn’t actually legal — and that’s exactly the inefficiency Manifest is targeting.

What stands out to us:

→ A massive, under-optimized market (legal services ≈ $1T globally)
→ Clear ROI for end users, not just “AI for the sake of AI”
→ Strong early traction with real practitioners
→ Expansion beyond initial verticals (with tax law next)

We’ve been saying this for a while:
AI is not just creating new categories — it is rebuilding legacy industries from the inside out. Legal is one of the most obvious (and largest) frontiers.

Proud to be part of the journey with Manifest.

Manifest OS, a startup selling AI software to lawyers, has sealed a $60 million Series A funding round valuing it at $750 million.

We’re proud to share that our portfolio company Destinus is entering a new strategic phase.

Today, Rheinmetall and Destinus announced the creation of a joint venture to develop and deliver next-generation missile systems — including cruise missiles and rocket artillery.

The partnership brings together two complementary strengths:
— Rheinmetall’s industrial scale and experience in large defense programs
— Destinus’s advanced technologies and system design capabilities

At a time when Europe’s key bottleneck is not demand, but industrial capacity, this collaboration is a clear signal of where the market is heading.

For us at TA Ventures, this milestone reflects a broader thesis:
the next generation of defense and deep tech companies will be built at the intersection of breakthrough engineering and scalable production.

Destinus is exactly that kind of company.

We’re excited to continue supporting the team as they scale their impact globally.

Rheinmetall and Destinus form a joint venture for advanced missile systems. The new company strengthens European defense with scalable cruise missiles and rockets.
