Yard Ventures

Over the years, the team at Yard Ventures have been easy to work with, uniquely helpful when called upon, and increasingly supportive as our company has grown.

It can be no small feat to manage a portfolio of 600+ companies, while at the same time providing the seamless experience I have enjoyed. I know of no other company even remotely as complex as Alumni Ventures that manages to facilitate business as effortlessly.

I’ve invested in six funds because I’ve found the model to be powerful, the growth to be impressive, the team to be outstanding, the administration to be seamless and the communication to be great.

As an entrepreneur, I seek to find investors that can amplify Olaris' mission and help us scale. Alumni Ventures and Yard Ventures check those boxes. They have curated an incredible network and are eager to help their portfolio companies tap into that ecosystem which can lead to additional investments, potential new hires and BD opportunities.

I've been impressed and most appreciative of the speed in which the team operates. Based on the quality of the folks we have been connected with already, this could have a material impact on our business!

Alumni Ventures has found an ingenious way to give power to you as an investor by bringing you the best quality deals, a seamless investor journey and a vibrant network. It’s incredible to be a part of the next generation of venture investing that is fueled by this passionate community of investors and dedicated staff.

I’ve been incredibly impressed with the quality of the deals and the vast network that can be drawn upon. What they are operating is very smart and long overdue.

Alumni Ventures has provided a terrific way to gain access to the seed and VC asset classes with a manageable financial commitment. Working with the firm is incredibly easy and all the investment professionals and other team members I've connected with have been impressive. Co-investment opportunities provide a great way to see high quality, vetted companies. Lastly, I've learned a ton about different companies, sectors and early stage investing being part of this community.

AVG is a very unique opportunity. Most investors do not have access to the venture capital ecosystem, and AVG provides that. Especially valuable to me has been their syndications of individual companies. Great learning and enjoyable also.
