In a world in which the best venture and growth equity funds are oversubscribed, we understand that limited partners need to be thoughtful about what value they add to the firms in which they seek to invest. At Industry Ventures, we believe our advantages for fund managers include:
Capital support throughout a fund's lifecycle. Industry Ventures is uniquely positioned to support a general partner throughout the lifecycle of a fund including: primary commitments at a fund's inception, unfunded and funded secondary assistance, fund liquidations and secondary direct investments.
Deep asset class experience. The Industry Ventures team has deep experience as venture, growth equity, and secondary investors and as limited partners. Therefore, we're easy to work with both in our initial due diligence and our on-going monitoring.
Efficient and thorough diligence process. We know the questions to ask and where to look for the answers. We have great contacts throughout the industry that can be leveraged to reduce the diligence burden on fund managers without compromising the integrity and rigor of our process.
Transparent and timely decisions. We are a streamlined organization without bureaucracy. The decision makers run the diligence process and deal directly with the firms we evaluate, which ensures a transparent and timely process.
Strong limited partner referral network. We maintain deep relationships with many elite educational endowments, pension funds and other funds of funds who value our judgment. Where appropriate, we have referred these prospective limited partners to fund managers, which have often led to new investment commitments.
