How democratizing Venture Capital is building a better investment ecosystem

Josipa Majic Predin explores for Forbes how AlphaQ VC (AQVC) is revolutionizing venture capital by offering diversified, semi-liquid access to global VC funds. Historically, European family offices have underinvested in venture capital, limiting opportunities for entrepreneurs to access top-tier funds. AQVC bridges this gap with its rigorous data-driven screening process and flexible investment model, allowing investors to exit at any time.

Marius Weber, Founding Partner of AQVC, highlights the firm’s mission: “With our data-driven approach, AQVC has screened over 3,000 funds and invested in 20 of them. We’re opening up the world of venture capital in ways that were once impossible for many investors.”

AQVC’s focus on emerging and established funds, along with its global diversification, aims to build a stronger, more inclusive investment ecosystem that addresses pressing global challenges through venture capital.

Why insurers should look more to venture capital?

The German government is aiming to strengthen the economy with its "Initiative for Venture and Growth Capital for Germany."

In an insightful interview, Patrick Dahmen, Venture Partner at AQVC and founder of Valytics, together with Marius Weber, founding partner of AQVC, explain why insurers should focus more on the venture capital asset class in the future.

They discuss how investing in venture capital can unlock new growth opportunities, drive innovation, and help the insurance industry stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market.
