Testimonial/Endorsement Policy: Testimonials/Endorsements were provided by the participants without compensation, but each participant has a relationship with Alumni Ventures (AV) from which they benefit. All views expressed are the individual’s own and do not represent the experience of all AV fund investors or companies in which AV funds invest. Please note that testimonials are no guarantee of future performance or success. Any provider of an endorsement that is affiliated with a portfolio company Alumni Ventures has received investment funding from AV, and may in the future seek and/or receive additional funding from AV.

Investor Portal Update Policy: Investor portfolio data is updated once per quarter in the AV Investor Portal.

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 all management fees and incentive allocations payable to AV, including incentive allocations accrued due to unrealized gains on investments held by AV Funds.  Incentive allocations actually paid from unrealized gains may differ in the future due to possible changes in valuation prior to liquidation.  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.
