THE PROBLEM

Access defines
outcomes.

Private market exposure has historically shaped return profiles well before public access becomes available.

The next decade is being built in private. Most people can't invest in the companies they use every day.

Companies are staying private longer. In 1980, the median company went public at 6 years old. In 2024, it was 13. That's 7 extra years of growth.

IPOs are exits, not entries. By the time shares trade publicly, much of the appreciation has already gone to early employees and the investors who got there first.

Market History

US Early VC US Total VC S&P 500 TR 2025

Hypothetical growth of $10,000. Data: PitchBook Private Capital Indexes. For illustrative purposes only. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

USVC's aim is to break down the barriers to entry.

Venture capital is exclusive by design

Information asymmetry - Limited transparency into deal flow and valuations
High minimums - Typically $100,000+ to participate
Closed networks - Access through relationships and connections
Accreditation requirements - Wealth/income thresholds exclude most investors
Limited transparency - Opaque fee structures and performance reporting

USVC removes those barriers

Open to all investors - No accreditation required
$500 minimum - Accessible entry point
No network required - Direct access through globalusvc.com
No performance fees - 0% carry, only management fees
Transparent structure - Clear fee breakdowns and regular reporting

Our Advantage

AngelList is our entry point. Our opportunities extend beyond.

Many of the most iconic managers and breakout funds operate on AngelList. With 4,500+ active managers running 25,000+ funds and backing 13,000+ active startups, it's a powerful signal network. We use that access as a starting point — then follow the top performers wherever they invest.

Our Belief

Built for the long game.

Great companies take years to build. Great wealth takes years to compound. USVC is designed for investors who understand this.

✓ Think in years, not months

✓ Value patience

✓ Want ownership, not exposure

Not the right fit if you:

✗ Need short-term liquidity

✗ Want to trade, not invest

✗ Can't tolerate risk

Our Approach

We aim to back the investors who find great companies early.

Emerging Managers

USVC becomes an LP in select venture funds run by managers with sharp taste, strong networks, and the ability to back founders before the signal is obvious.

Growth Rounds

When a company in the portfolio starts breaking out, we aim to concentrate—following winners into later rounds rather than getting diluted as they scale.

Secondaries

Buying existing ownership stakes in private companies with traction, sourced through the AngelList network and data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is USVC?

USVC is designed to broaden access to Venture Capital, giving everyday investors the ability to invest in what we believe are some of America's most promising companies—before they become household names. For decades, the opportunity to invest in some of the highest-growth companies in the world has been off-limits to most people.

Who can invest in USVC?

Individual investors with a $500 minimum. No accreditation required. USVC is the first venture capital fund from AngelList offered to all U.S. investors, regardless of income or net worth.

How does USVC invest?

USVC pools investor capital and puts it to work across three channels: (1) Emerging managers—becoming an LP in select venture funds, (2) Growth rounds—following winners into later rounds, and (3) Secondaries—buying existing ownership stakes in private companies with traction. The strategy aims to build broad exposure to hundreds of underlying companies across stages.

What are the fees?

USVC charges a 1% management fee with no carry. The net annual expense ratio is approximately 2.50%, which includes the management fee, operating expenses, and estimated underlying fund fees. AngelList has agreed to waive fees and cover operating expenses through October 29, 2026, to maintain this rate. There is no sales load for investments made through globalusvc.com.

How does liquidity work?

The Fund may offer to repurchase a portion of the Fund's shares (up to 5% of total NAV) from time to time in tender offers at net asset value, at the sole discretion of the Fund's Board of Trustees. Shares are not redeemable at an investor's option and are illiquid. Investors should consider the Fund's shares to be illiquid and not expect to be able to sell shares other than through the Fund's repurchase policy.

Is USVC registered?

Yes. USVC is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Independent board oversight, registered fund standard audits, and regular reporting are all part of the structure. We chose the higher bar on purpose.

How is USVC's NAV calculated?

USVC's valuation policy follows ASC 820 (fair value measurement). For LP commitments in underlying funds, NAV inputs come from those funds' most recent reported values. For direct investments, fair value is determined using inputs such as recent financings, market comparables, and secondary-market pricing. The fund is audited annually by an independent registered public accounting firm.

Can fees change over time?

Fees typically decrease as a fund grows. However, funds like USVC have the possibility that fees could go up. We're evaluating ways to address this uncertainty quickly, and will keep investors informed as the structure evolves.
