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 fund are sponsored by, affiliated with, or endorsed by any school. Venture capital investing involves substantial risk, including risk of loss of all capital invested. Achievement of investment objectives cannot be guaranteed. Past performance does not guarantee future results. To see information on all AV fund investment performance, please see here. To see additional risk factors and considerations, please see here.

No content hosted on this website is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, any security.
