Alumni Ventures is America’s largest VC firm for individual investors based on the combination of total capital raised, number of investments, and number of investors of leading VC firms as reported by Pitchbook and other publicly available information reviewed by AV.

(1)The aggregate performance of the AV venture funds is not necessarily representative of the performance of any particular AV venture fund or the experiences of any individual AV investor. All investment involves risk, including risk of loss. Not all venture capital investments will be successful. Past performance is not necessarily reflective of future results, and achievement of investment objectives, including preservation of principal, cannot be guaranteed. (2) IRR for AV Funds includes Uninvested Cash, Unrealized Investments, and Amounts Distributed to Investors. IRR for AV Funds is net of management fees, and net of incentive allocations applied to amounts distributed to investors, but gross of incentive allocations applicable to unrealized gains on investments held by AV Funds. For additional information, please see here. The IRR shown for Nasdaq Composite, S&P 500, and Russell 2000 indices are gross of fees because indices are not managed investments. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
