AV Deal Roundtable
There is Power in Groups
The best investment decisions are shaped by diverse perspectives. At AV, we do not invest in a company without thoughtful discussion among several team members. AV Deal Roundtable extends that approach to you, creating a space to examine opportunities with a diverse group before making your decision.
How It Works
- Home
Review a Real Deal
Members receive a live investment memo used by Alumni Ventures. - Home
Prepare
Before the session, prepare your thoughts. Be active in the meeting so that all members grow. - Home
Pressure-Test It as a Team
Live discussion with experienced investors. Stress-test assumptions. Refine the angle. - Home
Expand Your Confidence Areas
Each session layers core venture concepts — ownership, risk, portfolio math, founder evaluation — so your thinking compounds over time. - Home
Discuss live with experienced investors
Stress-test with the team, and build your confidence.
Sophisticated investors aren’t lucky.
They’re disciplined.
Agency comes from understanding risk. Confidence comes from pattern recognition. Strength comes from repetition.
AV Deal Roundtable helps investors become stronger by hearing other viewpoints, defending their positions with others, and learning about new industries that you would not invest in alone.
Who It’s For

Experienced Syndicate Investors
Investors who value thoughtful discussion with like-minded peers to sharpen their perspective and expand their investing skills.
