A New Era for Growth Investing
Value creation is shifting into the private markets.
Since the mid-2000s, companies have stayed private roughly twice as long — and created much more value — before their IPO. The decade of value creation that used to happen after an IPO now happens before it, and most investors never get in. Venture investing gives access to that earlier chapter. AV is here to help you build up a large, diversified blue-chip venture portfolio over time that is designed to capture that value.
Where AV Fits In
AV helps you get access.
AV gives institutional-grade access to the private markets, both venture stage and late-stage private.
Venture-stage
Tomorrow’s tech disruptors — and the hardest portfolio to build.
- Home
Alumni Ventures — Top 20 U.S. VC Firm (TIME, 2025).
Highest Return Potential
Late-stage private
On a proven path to IPO — think Anthropic, Anduril, and ŌURA.
- Home
Alumni Ventures — Top 20 U.S. VC Firm (TIME, 2025).
Higher Return Potential
Public companies
Index funds and select stocks — deep, well-established markets.
Built with ordinary brokerage accounts.
Lowest Return Potential
Return potential refers to the asset class generally, not to the performance of any AV fund. Venture capital is a long-term, illiquid asset class involving risk of loss. Companies shown are illustrative examples of late-stage private businesses. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
