LetsVenture has recently announced the launch of LV Titans, a private platform exclusively for top-tier Family Offices to access curated investment opportunities.
Till date, LetsVenture used to focus on serving Angel Investors only. On their online platform, 700 angel investors have deployed capital into 138 companies. The 2014 portfolio is already up 3X, with some of the companies achieving 10-12X within just 3 years!
LV Titans
Through LV Titans, we aim to recreate the company’s success in the Family Office segment by sourcing exclusive investment opportunities in growth stage startups for this emerging class of high profile investors. In the last 3-4 years, more than 100 Family Offices have been setup in India alone. These are families who have had liquidity events after taking their companies public. Or, they have exited their stakes to PE funds and strategic acquirers.
“Growth stage entrepreneurs are typically aware of a small number of capital sources - mostly VC Funds. LV Titans will unlock new alternate sources of capital for such startups. Titans of the business world bring a wealth of domain expertise, business acumen, networks, and a deep understanding of the Indian market. These are owners of Family Offices who have built large, profitable businesses in the pre-venture era. They are perfect partners to entrepreneurs who are scaling their technology & innovation in the market.” said Shanti Mohan, Founder & CEO of LetsVenture.
Family Offices are becoming keen to invest in entrepreneurial ventures. However, they have lacked a structured approach to accessing the Startup & Venture asset class, which the LV Titans platform is now providing to them. We engage with 80 family offices across India, Singapore, and the Middle East.
“Our platform will also enable family offices to diversify into hi-tech opportunities in Silicon Valley and Israel. LV Titans will be a comprehensive partner to sophisticated Family Offices for the Venture asset class. Based on the early traction we witnessed since our beta launch 6 months ago, we expect more than INR 1000 Cr to be invested on the LV Titans platform over the next couple of years.” said Ganesh Nayak, Director of LV Titans.
