Global Alumni Syndicate

SYNDICATE • ACCREDITED INVESTORS • NEW YORK & LONDON

For investors who’ve crossed borders, backing companies built to do the same.

What It Is

The Global Alumni Syndicate is a private investing community specifically for accredited investors who have lived, studied, or worked across global borders — and want insight and deal-by-deal VC access to startups and growth companies built with global ambition by design.

Members co-invest alongside well-established lead VCs and benefit from Alumni Ventures’ diligence, with 1–2 curated opportunities per month that AV funds have committed capital to. The syndicate features IRL and virtual programming on both sides of the Atlantic to build community and shared insight across borders, with AV leaders from both NY and London supporting this work. (For UK investors, sign up instead at alumniventures.co.uk).

Who Might be Interested

Accredited investors with cross-border life experience — whether having lived, studied, or worked across global borders now or previously. This syndicate is a great fit for Alumni and friends of global universities; multinational employees, and international professionals who want access to early and growth stage companies that have global ambition — and who value curated access, insight, and investing with like-minded people.
