VUVP Is A Value Add Investor
Every VC Says It, But Few Deliver It. We Have A Track Record Of Executing On Our Value Add.
A More Powerful Network
Most Seed & Series A focused funds only have an investment team of ~3-7 people, meaning founders can only leverage the network of 3-7 investment team members.
With VUVP, Portfolio Companies are able to leverage a significantly larger network:
- The network of our 70+ person investment team across Consumer, Enterprise, Fintech, Frontier, Healthcare, and PropTech.
- Our Insider Investor Network (750+ VU Alumni, many of which work at VC/PE funds at all levels from Analysts, Associates, Principals, to Partners)
- A deep network across:
- Lead Investors & Co-Investors (VC/PE Funds)
- Target Customers
- Strategic Partners
- Advisors & Board Members
- Talent / Key Potential Hires
- Future Acquirers
Key Introductions
VU often makes a few key introductions during our deeper due diligence process to help with our vetting process. We'll give you a taste of our value add even before we invest.
Worst case scenario, we don't invest, but you get a few key new introductions. Best case scenario, we invest, and then open our rolodex to really help accelerate the growth trajectory of your company.
Experience Matters
VU's investment team has 45+ years of VC experience and can help you see around corners, provide useful insight on strategy, and pass on critical timely wisdom when things go great and tough times occur.
A startups journey is often a roller coaster, and we've navigated companies through good and poor economies, and much like a famous insurance company's commercial, "we've seen a thing or two". We can help speed up your feedback loop in being an entrepreneur.
Reputations matter too. Our team has high integrity and has co-invested with most of the top VC funds at some point in the past. We don't cause problems and we only try to help.
Money Matters
Many seed funds don't have any capital reversed for follow-on investments and many Series A funds don't have much reserved for follow-on rounds either, using a spray and pray approach to VC investing.
VU has 50-66% of Fund II reserved for follow-on investments, so we can participate in multiple follow-on investments through a company's journey until exit. While we typically co-invest in the first round of up to $1M, we have the ability to potentially lead your follow-on round as well up, investing up to $10M.
Startup Application Form
After you submit your company's information, we we will share it with the appropriate deal sourcing team across Consumer, Enterprise, Fintech, Frontier, Healthcare, and PropTech, and follow-up if there is interest in meeting.
