Alumni Funds are for the community and friends of the corresponding schools. Each Fund endeavors to make investments in portfolio companies with relationships to the corresponding school, but there is no minimum number of school-related investments and Alumni Funds typically include portfolio companies without school relationships as well.

3) Invest for Maximum Diversification

The Foundation Fund uses a rules-based, algorithmic process to build a portfolio of 20–30 companies that AV is already investing in—layered with oversight from our Office of the CIO to ensure balance and quality.

4) Invest in Proven Performers

These funds are exclusively for returning investors who want to back proven performers:

  • CIO Select Fund – Invests in ~15–25 of our most promising portfolio companies
  • Opportunity Fund – A more concentrated bet on ~5–10 high-performing, existing portfolio companies (Diamond Club only)

For Institutions, Corporations, Family Offices, and Wealth Advisers.

The Apex Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation by making follow-on investments in established Alumni Ventures portfolio companies. The strategy leverages existing financial and operational relationships to identify high-conviction opportunities.

The Fund targets approximately 70 follow-on investments, around the Series B stage, selected from Alumni Ventures’ portfolio of ~1,300 companies. Investments span AI, HealthTech, Consumer, Space, ClimateTech, PropTech, and FinTech, with broad geographic coverage and lead investor diversification. Alumni Ventures’ co-investment model provides access alongside leading venture capital firms such as Khosla Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and Sequoia Capital.

Fund structure, economics, and governance align with institutional venture capital standards.
