The AVG Syndicate

Syndications are opportunities to invest in single asset funds that give you more exposure to a specific company you may be excited about and in which one or more of our AVG Funds will also be investing.

How it works:

Investors can opt into Syndications as they wish.
Opportunities are sourced by our 40+ full-time investment professionals and our Office of Investments.
All opportunities have passed our diligence process and are being invested in by one or more of our funds.
Minimums are typically $25K per opportunity, or $10K for opportunities offered through your Venture Club(s).
Typically, only about 5-10% of our investments are offered to our Syndicate - normally when we are able to acquire a larger investment allocation.
