Users assume full responsibility for decisions made based on information obtained from this platform. Links to external websites do not imply endorsement or affiliation with aVenture. Any links that provide the ability to invest in a primary or secondary transaction in a company are for convenience only and do not constitute solicitations or offers to buy or sell an investment. Investors should exercise heightened precaution and due diligence when investing in private companies, especially those not independently audited.

Profiles on this platform may include content generated in part by large language models (LLMs, artificial intelligence) that aggregate publicly available sources (e.g., SEC EDGAR, public filings, press releases).

We recommend that an independent auditor be hired to verify the accuracy of the information before relying on it for any sensitive decisions.

The Private Shares Fund is a closed-end fund that focuses on investments in late-stage, venture-backed private companies. The fund aims to provide access to potentially high-growth firms that have traditionally been available only to institutional and high net worth investors. With a minimum investment requirement and no accreditation needed, the fund offers broader access to private market opportunities.

Notable portfolio companies include Betterment, Devoted Health, Fundbox, and Tradeshift. The fund's investment strategy targets companies across various stages, from Seed to Series F, with a concentration on later-stage rounds. By investing in companies that stay private longer, the Private Shares Fund seeks to capture value appreciation that occurs before these firms enter public markets.
