A collaborative investment group that enables members to pool capital and invest alongside the HVC team in carefully selected early-stage startups.
While each deal typically involves a collective cheque of USD 20,000–30,000, individual participation can start from
USD 3,000, allowing investors to gain real exposure to venture investing without large minimum commitments.
