Venture investments often refer to investments in startups specifically during their early stages when the project is still seeking ways to establish their business. Such investments are highly risky, with over 95% of companies going bankrupt within their first few years. Opportunities are evaluated first by a dedicated team for each asset class. From there, our team provides a fresh perspective for you and challenges the investment's thesis to identify any potential risks.
Our fund’s strategy is to invest in late-stage companies (s+) with valuations above $500 Million.

Step 2
Valuation Growth Trajectory
We strictly exclude companies that have raised down rounds (financing at lower valuations). The only exception applies to firms demonstrating consistent recovery growth following the 2022 market correction.
Step 3
Venture Capital Backing
We only consider companies backed by 10+ venture funds, including at least 2 top-tier firms. Our team conducts thorough analysis of these funds' historical IPO exits, examining both timelines and return metrics.
Step 4
Hands-On Product Validation
Every product undergoes real-world testing. For example, we selected BitPay for its transparent UX and simplicity, while passing on more cumbersome solutions like Instacart after practical evaluation.
Step 5
High-Potential Market Segments
For 2025, we're prioritizing:
Artificial Intelligence (e.g., Dataminers)
Crypto solutions (ABRA for lending, BitPay for payments)
We actively avoid oversaturated sectors like the Alzheimer's pharmaceutical market of 2021.

Pre-vetted investment opportunities
Custom share acquisition services
Primary sellers are typically long-term employees liquidating shares for major purchases or career changes.
