Each Fund endeavors to make investments in portfolio companies with relationships to the corresponding school, but there is no minimum number of school-related investments and Alumni Funds typically include portfolio companies without school relationships as well.

Still not sure? Here’s how to decide:
🎯Start With a Fund if You Want:
Instant diversification, professional management, and the ability to add individual deals later (since fund investors get syndicate access automatically)
⚡ Start Syndicate-Only if You Want:
Want to build your portfolio one deal at a time, already have diversification elsewhere, or prefer maximum control over every investment
Deal Flow & Sector Expertise
AV’s 40+ full-time investors each go deep in a specific sector—so our Syndicates are backed by real domain expertise, not just deal volume.
Every deal you see has already cleared AV’s rigorous diligence process and attracted capital from top-tier firms like Sequoia, a16z, Accel, Benchmark, and General Catalyst.
These aren’t casual angel or crowdfunding rounds. They’re highly-competitive, professional-grade venture deals—the kind most individuals never even see.
Investor Experience
Syndicate members get ~1–2 handpicked deals/month, with the option to invest starting at $10,000. Every deal comes with:
- HomeFull diligence materials (financials, market analysis, IC call recordings, AV's proprietary diligence documents) ¹
- HomeLive deal discussion with the AV investment team leading the deal
- HomeAccess all AV deal-by-deal opportunities by downloading the AV Investor App (iPhone only - for now)
- HomeRegular updates on company performance, financial reporting, and on-time K-1s for tax season
We give you everything you need to make smart, confident decisions—and connect you to a community of investors doing the same. Read more about what it’s like to be an investor with AV on our “Day in the Life of an AV Investor” page.
