Alumni Ventures DPI vs. U.S. VC
Top-Decile and Top-Quartile DPI by Vintage

Venture returns are typically harvested in years 6–10. Isolating some of our more mature vintages, AV consistently performs in the top decile against U.S. VC Industry Benchmarks. Of course, these vintages all still have time to play out, and the DPI metric will only increase as time goes on.

NOTE: Graph compares Alumni Ventures’ 2017–2020 fund vintages against peer group data published by Carta. Performance shown is Distributions to Paid-in Capital, which is Amounts Returned to Investors / Paid-in Capital, and is net of all applicable fees. Carta data is available here. Performance as of 12/31/24. For information on the performance of all AV fund vintages, please see here.
