Back the companies building the future.


Before it’s obvious.

USVC broadens access to Venture Capital, allowing retail investors to invest in promising companies before they become well-known.

The companies that will define the next decade are being built right now.

In private markets.

Access defines

outcomes.

Private market exposure has historically shaped return profiles well before public access becomes available.

  • You use their products.

    You read about them in the news. But it is hard to get access until IPO.

  • They stay private longer.

    Breakout growth often happens before public access.

  • IPOs are their exits.

    Much of the appreciation has already occurred — captured by early employees and investors.

You've been protected from

the risk. But you've also been

protected from the reward.

In 1980, the median company went public at 6 years old. Today it's 13. That's seven extra years of growth, during what can be the most valuable years, happening before retail investors can buy a single share.

AngelList is our entry point.

Our opportunities extend beyond.

Many of the most iconic managers and breakout funds operate on AngelList. With 6,000+ managers running 25,000+ funds and backing 25,000+ active startups, it’s a powerful signal network. 
We use that access as a starting point — then follow the top performers wherever they invest.
