Moonfare's Venture Portfolio offers a simple, diversified approach to investing in VC. Our top-tier global VC fund managers seek to invest at the ground floor of the next unicorns.
Facebook, Apple, OpenAi (ChatGPT). Top-tier venture capital managers invest in startups before they become industry-defining businesses.
Venture capital has historically achieved higher risk-adjusted returns than several other well-known asset classes, such as fixed income, public equity and late-stage private equity.
Our carefully curated basket of top-tier venture capital funds provides you with diversification across company stages, sectors, and geographies. This helps mitigate risk while providing exposure to a broad range of underlying startup investments.
Venture capital investments support early-stage companies developing a product to fill a specific market need. Startups are not necessarily profitable yet, making them bad candidates for debt financing.
This is where venture capital managers step in. VCs identify and invest early in those businesses with the greatest potential, capturing the highest possible returns in the process.

As a private markets investor, picking the right managers is critical to achieving the kind of returns for which venture capital is known.
This is Moonfare’s greatest advantage. Backed by an Investment Committee with over a century of experience, our investment team meticulously evaluates hundreds of potential deals each year and selects only the most promising for the MVP portfolio.
We strive to ensure that the funds we bring to you are, in our mind, archetypal top-quartile performers — a key factor behind successful private equity investing. Moonfare also evaluates each investment opportunity against a defined set of ESG criteria.
Moonfare actively covers more than 250 fund managers via personal and institutional relationships established on IR and deal team level.
The team sources well over 300 opportunities per year through its coverage activities and inbound offers.
Roughly half of the deals sourced are looked at more closely to determine their fit with Moonfare’s investment criteria.
During this phase, our team has full access to the fund or deal data and team. Based on the work performed, the team presents a full due diligence report to the Investment Committee for consideration.
The Investment Committee evaluates investment proposals based on rigorous standards across all Moonfare’s investment criteria and makes a recommendation on whether to pursue the investment.
