Startup investing
What startup investing actually means, the major paths, and the risks you should weigh before doing it.
What it is
Startup investing means deploying capital into early-stage private companies — directly, through SPVs, or as a Limited Partner in a venture fund.
It is illiquid and high-risk. Most early-stage companies fail or return less than the capital invested.
Major paths
Direct investing requires deal access, diligence, and time. LP investing in funds delegates decisions to a manager, with different access requirements.
