Why invest in venture capital with Congress Avenue Ventures

Diversification

Venture capital is loosely correlated with the stock market. With public market volatility, VC can help provide greater balance to your investment portfolio.

We source, vet and access competitive venture deals alongside established VC firms such as Sequoia, Greylock, and Andreesen Horowitz.

Simplicity

In just 20 minutes you can sign up to join Congress Avenue Ventures. With a single investment, you’ll gain access to a smart, simple venture capital portfolio.
