The company further noted:

“We were also the first institutional venture capital firm to open our business to the crowd. Now we return to Seedrs having grown 10x+ in the last year, and have reserved 10% of this round for the crowd, as part of our commitment to democratize venture.”

While sharing its monetization strategy, the firm revealed that there are three revenue streams combine to provide a strong diversified business:

  • Venture Funds: We manage over $300m in AUM across over 10 different venture funds, where we take on average a 2% fixed management fee, contracted for between 5-10+ years. Through acquisition and organic growth, our 5-year target is to grow this to $1-2Bn of Venture Assets. We also charge a 20% performance fee on these funds, of which 40% is retained by the company and the rest to our management team to ensure long-term alignment and commitment. Further, we are often investing a GP commitment, on which we expect a return.
  • Co-investment Platform: Large investors want access to our dealflow and the ability to invest alongside us. Our platform provides a steady flow of unique co-investment opportunities and pre-emption allocations, for which we charge management & performance fees. Our co-investors to date have included large royal family offices, corporates and institutions.
  • Introducer and Sub Advisory Business: We have signed partnerships to introduce deals to some of the largest private banks and corporations; we take introductory and management fees for specific mandates and deals that we have originated.
