2021 is the Year for Venture

1. Innovation Acceleration

Technology trends like remote work, telemedicine, and autonomous vehicles are re-writing the economy. We are actively investing now in the next generation of companies that will be shaking up the landscape 3, 5, 10 years from now.

2. The COVID Effect

The companies that thrive, succeed, and win in the new post-COVID world are likely to be nimble, aggressive, and well-funded for growth. Many will be venture-backed. We intend to invest in the best of those.

3. Combating Volatility

VC is a 10 year, optimistic asset class that believes in the march of innovation. Venture capital has outperformed the S&P over many periods. With market volatility, including reaching record highs, diversifying your portfolio beyond the public markets may be more important than ever.

AVG offers smart, simple venture investing to accredited investors. Specifically, AVG provides a path for individuals to own an actively managed diversified venture portfolio with a single investment co-investing alongside experienced VC firms. Traditionally, with limited investment capital and contacts, individual investors have had limited access to desirable deals alongside experienced VC firms, and even if they could access one or more such deals, it would take an inordinate amount of time, money, and negotiation to build a diversified portfolio. With AVG Funds, investors can choose from a number of funds to make a single investment to gain exposure to a diversified portfolio of investments selected by an experienced manager. AVG Funds’ simple fee mechanism permits investors to avoid constant capital calls throughout the life of the fund as found in other private investment vehicles.
