Alumni Ventures Announces More Accessible Investment Minimums

AV was founded in 2014 with the mission of providing professional-grade venture portfolios to individual accredited investors — a product offering that had historically only been available to institutional investors and ultra high-net-worth individuals.

Over the last eight years, we have accomplished this mission by giving more than 8,000 individuals access to diversified venture portfolios. Over that time, AV itself has grown into a unicorn with a valuation of $1B+.

Now, we are setting a new goal of onboarding the next 25,000 individuals into the hard-to-access venture asset class.

One of the ways we will accomplish this mission is by lowering our minimum investment amount, which will make our funds even more accessible to individual accredited investors.

“Now, for as little as $10,000, accredited investors can have a large, diversified portfolio of venture capital investments.”

—Mike Collins, Founder & CEO of AV

We’re continuing to provide the same high-quality product we’ve always offered. Investors will still receive venture portfolios co-invested alongside other well-established venture firms, and diversified by stage, sector, and geography.

We believe we are the first and premier partner for individuals seeking to add venture capital to their personal portfolio mix. We can all do better investing together than anyone can do alone.
