Despite my association with AV for only about a year, I have found them deliberate and diligent in evaluating portfolio companies they recommend. The support staff as well as the portfolio managers are capable subject experts and are willing to give their time to explain the investment philosophy to even a novice like myself, truly a world-class organization.
My involvement with Alumni Ventures and its full roster of investment opportunities has been a stellar success. The range of investments they offer is quite varied - broad based funds, sector specific funds, direct syndications, including shares in AV itself - and the mix of companies to which they have gained access is quite impressive. 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.
It's been great investing via AV. I love their speed and solutions for international investors. Their dashboard makes data very transparent: I can find out exactly what startups are part of the various funds that I invested in, and how each startup is doing.
We’re all thrilled to be working with AV. Response time has been exceptional, and the team has gone above expectations to provide any and all details throughout the process.
