The Venture Fund typically invests between $500,000 and $2 million as a first investment into a company and seeks to invest approximately $5 million in aggregate into a company. However, the fund will invest more or less where the opportunity warrants it. The Fund’s portfolio includes private and public companies, as well as companies from the seed stage through to revenue generating companies.
