Alumni Ventures has democratized venture capital for the everyday investor. I get the benefit of diversifying my portfolio with a new asset class, a professionally managed fund, access to high-quality syndicated deals, and a massive network at a price point that previously was only affordable by the ultra wealthy.
As an individual investor, adding venture capital investments to my portfolio seemed out of reach. When I learned about Alumni Ventures, it appeared to be the perfect way to get this exposure.
I’ve invested in six funds because I’ve found the model to be powerful, the growth to be impressive, the team to be outstanding, the administration to be seamless and the communication to be great.
I have been with Alumni Ventures 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.
