Sapphire started as SAP's corporate venture capital arm but then it spun out as an independent firm and subsequently rebranded to Sapphire a few years ago. They have 3 main groups - a venture fund of funds, a consumer/entertainment-focused fund (seems like the most fun imo), and then a more enterprise/fintech/saas-focused fund. They have several billions of dollars in AUM and some good names in the portfolio. It does seem like they come into the "blue chip" companies in the later stages though like at the Series C+.
