Image · Venture Capital Fund PlacementA venture fund under USD 150m is precisely the mandate traditional agents refuse — too much work relative to the fee. Matchpoint places venture funds of USD 50m–300m with family offices, funds-of-funds and the newer GCC programmes actively building VC rosters, and prepares the DPI-era evidence pack — markups, realisations, attribution — that sceptical LPs now demand before underwriting a venture franchise.
As part of our Alternatives practice, Matchpoint Partners has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions across four continents — and every alternatives mandate is led by a partner, from first call to close.
