CIO Select Fund Last Call
Join Greg Baker, Executive Partner at Alumni Ventures, for a final opportunity to learn about the CIO Select Fund before it closes — and how AV concentrates additional capital in select companies from across its existing portfolio.
Greg will walk through the CIO Select Fund’s concentrated follow-on strategy, including how the team identifies high-conviction companies already backed by Alumni Ventures and evaluates them for additional investment. He will also explain how the fund is constructed, the signals that inform follow-on decisions, and how the strategy complements broader, diversified venture exposure.
Designed exclusively for existing Alumni Ventures investors, this session will provide a clear view of the CIO Select Fund’s thesis, structure, and potential role within a long-term venture allocation. Reserve your spot to hear directly from Greg and get the information you need before the current fund closes.
