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.
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 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.
