<p><span class="QuoteInBody-quoteNameContainer" data-test="QuoteInBody" id="RegularArticle-QuoteInBody-1">Goldman Sachs<span class="QuoteInBody-inlineButton"><span class="AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistContainer" id="-WatchlistDropdown" data-analytics-id="-WatchlistDropdown"><span class="AddToWatchlistButton-addWatchListFromTag"/></span></span></span> has agreed to acquire Industry Ventures, a venture capital firm with $7 billion in assets under supervision, according to a release from the investment bank.</p>
<p>Goldman is paying $665 million in cash and equity, and up to $300 million more based on the firm&#8217;s future performance through 2030, the bank said. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026.</p>
<p>Goldman Sachs is making the acquisition to bolster its $540 billion alternatives investment platform, part of the self-identified &#8220;growth engine&#8221; of the investment bank. By identifying and making bets on startups, the venture capital firm can help Goldman create a pipeline of investments for its wealthy clients, as well as provide solutions to tech entrepreneurs.</p>
<p>San Francisco-based Industry Ventures has helped pioneer aspects of the American VC market since its founding 25 years ago, according to Goldman CEO David Solomon.</p>
<p>&#8220;Industry Ventures&#8217; trusted relationships and venture capital expertise complement our existing investing franchises and expand opportunities for clients to access the fastest growing companies and sectors in the world,&#8221; Solomon said in the release.</p>
<p>&#8220;By combining the global resources of Goldman Sachs with the venture capital expertise of Industry Ventures, we are uniquely positioned to serve the increasingly complex needs of entrepreneurs, private technology companies, limited partners, and venture fund managers,&#8221; said Hans Swildens, founder and CEO of Industry Ventures.</p>
<p>Industry Ventures has made more than 1,000 investments and said its annual performance was an internal rate of return of 18%.</p>
<p>The bank said it expects that all 45 employees of the venture firm will join Goldman.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can Ozzy Osbourne be resurrected? If you’d like to give it a try, purchase a can of this while supplies last.</p>
<p>The legendary “Prince of Darkness” who died on Tuesday at 76 partnered last month with Liquid Death – the canned water brand known for its heavy metal aesthetic – to sell special-edition cans of iced tea.</p>
<p>The major, head-banging twist: These cans purportedly bear traces of Osbourne’s DNA.</p>

<p>The ad pitch from Liquid Death claims the “Iron Man” singer drank and then crushed 10 cans of its iced tea, leaving behind “trace DNA from his saliva.”</p>
<p>“Now, when technology and federal law permits, you’ll be able to replicate Ozzy Osbourne and enjoy him for hundreds of years into the future,” the company said.</p>
<p>“DNA integrity and cloning results not guaranteed,” the company added.</p>
<p>With Osbourne’s signature on each package, the cans originally sold out quickly at $450 a pop – but that price soared as high as $4,655 for a resale on eBay after his death on Tuesday.</p>
<p>“Ozzy Osbourne is 1 of 1. But we’re selling his actual DNA so you can recycle him forever,” Liquid Death said of the collaboration, which is called “Infinitely Recyclable Ozzy.”</p>

<p>The Black Sabbath frontman also partnered with UK-based Jolie Beauty earlier this month on a limited-edition makeup collection with the moniker “I’m Going Through Changes”.</p>
<p>It included makeup brushes with black and red bristles, a hand mirror that looks like a vinyl record and lip products and eye glitters with shade names like “Bloodbath,” “Nightmare” and “Hellraiser.”</p>
<p>These weren’t Osbourne’s first unconventional partnerships.</p>

<p>In 2003, Chipotle created the Chipotle Celebrity Card – which grants unlimited Chipotle for one year – for Osbourne. As of 2022, he was the only lifelong cardholder.</p>
<p>Osbourne died “surrounded by love,” his family said in a statement to The Post shortly after his death on Tuesday. </p>
<p>“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” said the statement from his wife Sharon and four of his six kids – Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.</p>

<p>His death came more than five years after he announced his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis, and just a few weeks after his final show reunited with Black Sabbath in the band’s hometown of Birmingham, England.</p>
<p>Osbourne was known for his outrageous behavior – allegedly biting the head off a dove during a 1981 record company meeting and allegedly doing the same to a bat during a 1982 show in Iowa.</p>
<p>The metal icon reportedly snorted a line of ants while on tour in the 1980s, according to documentary “The Dirt,” and was arrested for urinating on the Cenotaph, a landmark at the Alamo in Texas.</p>
<p>His antics only fed his legendary career as Sabbath’s lead singer, a successful solo artist and star of the reality TV series “The Osbournes,” which ran from 2002 to 2005.</p>
