Emerging Markets Fund Closes On June 30
Investing in Promising Ventures Beyond Silicon Valley and Across the World
A reminder that our Emerging Markets Fund closes to new investors at the end of June, or as soon as we reach 250 investors. The fund offers a portfolio of ~20-30 diverse deals from outside of major U.S. VC hubs — both in the U.S. and abroad.
Investors who have already signed up have said they like the thesis of great regional diversification for their portfolio and potentially favorable valuation opportunities.
Portfolio Overview
Since launching the fund, we have invested in seven companies and already offered one Syndication to investors. Below is a brief summary of those deals, including a new one just added to the portfolio.
Alumni Ventures’ Emerging Markets Fund offers a portfolio of ~20-30 promising, venture-backed companies from emerging markets in the U.S. and internationally. It’s a chance to further diversify your portfolio, seeking opportunities in rapidly growing regions where there are outsized opportunities.
