Co-invests for accredited individuals' portfolios
Overview
Alumni Ventures helps accredited individual investors access venture capital by building alumni-based communities and offering two participation options: annual funds that invest in a diversified portfolio of about 20–30 startups, or deal-by-deal investments. Investors participate by contributing capital to these funds or by co-investing alongside rounds led by established VCs, with AV providing sourcing and access across multiple stages and sectors. The firm differentiates itself by organizing investor communities (initially alumni groups) and focusing on diversification, access, and participation rather than taking lead roles or board seats. Its goal is to democratize venture investing for individuals by delivering professional-grade, diversified portfolios through its network-powered model.

Company News
Kindred is thrilled to announce our investment in Corgi as part of their $108M Seed and Series A rounds. After leading their Seed round, we’re excited to back them again alongside YCombinator, Contrary, Oliver Jung, SV Angel, Phosphor Capital, and others, with support from an incredible group of angels, after recently receiving regulatory approval to launch the first AI-native, full-stack insurance carrier built for startups
Bolto raised a $12M Series A led by Standard Capital with participation from Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Amino Capital, Morado Ventures, and a notable group of angels.
Citra Space Corp, a Colorado Springs-based space technology company, has raised $15 million in Series A funding led by Washington Harbour Partners. Industrious Ventures, Reliable Properties and existing investors including Scout VC and Squadra Ventures participated. Founded in 2024 by former US Space Force and Air Force officers, Citra develops space object identification technology to help operators understand what objects are orbiting Earth and their intent. Of the 35,000 objects currently in orbit, operators lack context about roughly 10,000 of them. The company merges multiple data sources to create persistent "fingerprints" of objects over time, providing operators with a consistent basis for identifying and characterising orbital activity. The funding will support development and deployment amongst commercial and government partners.
