Why Invest in Venture Capital?
Consistently Strong Returns
Benefits of Venture Investing
Your chance to invest like an insider in game-changing innovation.
Participate in huge value creation pre-IPO and pre-acquisition.
Higher quality investment opportunities than angel investing or going it alone.
VC is not tied to the stock market, offering diversification during a downturn.
Invest directly in your interests: seed-stage startups, social impact, women entrepreneurs and more.
AVG Syndicate1
Syndications are opportunities to invest in single asset funds that give you more exposure to a specific company you may be excited about and in which one or more of our AVG Funds will also be investing.
How it works:
- Investors can opt into Syndication as they wish.
- Opportunities are sourced by our 40+ full-time investment professionals and our Office of Investments.
- All opportunities have passed our diligence process and are being invested in by one or more of our funds.
- Minimums are typically $25K per opportunity, or $10K for Venture Club members.
- Typically, only about 5-10% of our investments are offered to our Syndicate - normally when we are able to acquire a larger investment allocation.
