BR AVC Growth Fund Second Launch Announcement and Webinar
CHARLESTON, SC | September 05, 2024
We are pleased to announce the launch of the second close for the BR AVC Growth Fund, which is a diversified fund investing growth equity in later stage (Series B or later) venture capital portfolio companies.
The target size for the fund is $20 million. The BR AVC Growth Fund had its first close of $11 million in April 2023 and has now invested in seven portfolio companies, with an eighth investment set to close next week. See below for further information about the portfolio companies that the fund has invested in as of the date of this announcement.
To mark the launch of the second close for the fund, we are holding a webinar on Monday, September 16 at 5:30pm ET, where the Acronym Venture Capital team will discuss their outlook for the venture capital market as well as provide an update on the performance of the portfolio companies in the BR AVC Growth Fund.
“Our team has diligently been reviewing and executing deals since our first close in early 2023 and the fund has now made eight portfolio company investments. We are extremely conservative in our deal review process and will only ever consider investing in a company if we have a high degree of confidence that it is going to clear our stringent investment objectives.”
“We are very excited about the opportunities the current challenging venture capital environment will present for the BR AVC Growth Fund to deploy capital. Having already invested in eight great portfolio companies, the fund will continue to focus on investing in well-run companies with strong fundamentals, solid unit economics, a good growth story and a clear path to profitability.”
