Why consider the GEF-AV Fund?

Diversification
Venture capital is largely uncorrelated with the stock market. With public market volatility, VC can help provide greater balance to your investment portfolio. - Home
Robust VC Portfolio
Investing in 20-30 deals per portfolio diversified across sectors, stages, and geographies spreads risk and increases opportunities for gains. - Home
Network-Powered
We source, vet and access competitive venture deals alongside established VC firms such as Sequoia, Greylock, and Andreesen Horowitz. - Home
Simplicity
In just 20 minutes you can sign up to join the GEF-AV Fund. With a single investment, you’ll gain access to a smart, simple venture capital portfolio.
