See Blue Chip Venture Deals (For Free)
YOU JUST HEARD THIS ON PROF G
Venture capital used to be for institutions only. Not anymore.
For decades, blue-chip venture deals were reserved for large endowments, pension funds, and institutions. Alumni Ventures has spent 12 years building the infrastructure to bring that same access to individual accredited investors.

Why This Matters Now
Companies are staying private longer — and that’s where the value is being created.
If you’re waiting for the public markets to invest, a growing share of the opportunity is already gone. A properly diversified financial plan today needs exposure to late-stage and venture-stage private companies, not just public stocks and bonds.
The Access Gap
AV Gives You a Simple Way to Build Your Own Blue-Chip Venture Portfolio
Historically, the only investors positioned to get into blue-chip venture deals early were large endowments, pension funds, and institutions with minimums no individual could clear. Alumni Ventures exists to close that gap for accredited individual investors.
The Diversification Problem
Public index funds aren’t as diversified as they look
Public index funds are increasingly concentrated in a small handful of mega-cap companies. A real diversification strategy today means adding an asset class — venture — that most portfolios still don’t have any exposure to at all.
Your financial advisor’s business model is simple: collect a fee, keep you in public index funds, and be hard to reach. They’re not going to be the one who tells you it’s time to diversify into private markets — that’s a move you have to make yourself.

Signing up to join the AV Syndicate is free and only for accredited investors. Once in the AV Syndicate, you’ll start to see deal flow. There is no obligation to invest. $10K is the minimum investment size for AV funds and syndication offerings.
AV has been built from the ground up since 2014 to serve the needs and interests of you: the individual investor (not large college endowments and pension funds). We provide individuals with access to blue-chip venture investment opportunities and are the trusted venture partner to 30,000 investors and syndicate members.
The AV network includes over 850,000 business leaders, founders, investors, doctors, and lawyers. This community – all opt-in – is the source of investor base and is a key part of our access. Our ~40 full-time venture investing professionals, each with a deep sector expertise, work together to tap that network and form relationships that can compound over time and make us extremely competitive when we are seeking to secure allocation into the very sought-after venture deals. Founders also recognize this, and we have been named to Inc. Magazine’s “Most Founder-Friendly Investor” List. (2024)
