My involvement with Spike and Alumni Ventures has been a stellar success. I deeply value the ability to diversify my investment portfolio with such clean access to VC companies that I would not otherwise be able to participate in. AV will continue to be an important part of my overall investment portfolio.
I discovered Spike Ventures through my Stanford network, evaluated it closely and decided to invest. My interactions with the entire team have been exemplary. I feel good being a part of an effort dedicated to investing in cutting-edge, Stanford alum-led companies that seek to be world changers.
The subscription process, documentation, signing and investor portal of AV/Spike are well designed, easy to use and good balance of completeness and relative simplicity. The turnaround time and feedback time was very prompt and appreciate the transparency of the fees. Much better than many other VC portals.
