I have been with Alumni Ventures, specifically Green D, for over five years. As an investor myself, I have been incredibly pleased with what they do in building funds and engaging investors. The amount of due diligence and research they put in to build the best products possible is terrific. That is why I always keep coming back and investing. They are super good at what they do.
Robert Daly
Green D Ventures Investor
We invested in Green D Ventures because we were looking to diversify our portfolio and felt confident that Green D would allow access to quality investment opportunities. While we were initially attracted by the connection to Dartmouth, we ultimately chose to invest because of the varied investments, access to an extensive community of entrepreneurs, and impressive management team.

Investing with Green D has allowed us to easily add an asset class to our portfolio that was previously off limits. We appreciate the benefit of following the investments of well-known venture firms while gaining insight into Green D’s due diligence process and supporting the Dartmouth community.

Advertising Disclaimer: AV offers professional-grade venture portfolios. Specifically, AV provides a path for individuals to own an actively managed diversified venture portfolio with a single investment co-investing alongside experienced VC firms. Traditionally, with limited investment capital and contacts, individual investors have had limited access to desirable deals alongside experienced VC firms, and even if they could access one or more such deals, it would take an inordinate amount of time, money, and negotiation to build a diversified portfolio. With AV Funds, investors can choose from a number of funds to make a single investment to gain exposure to a diversified portfolio of investments selected by an experienced manager. AV Funds’ simple fee mechanism permits investors to avoid constant capital calls throughout the life of the fund as found in other private investment vehicles.

Neither Alumni Ventures nor any of its funds are sponsored by, affiliated with, or otherwise endorsed by any university. For further details see our Legal & Privacy Policy.
