Turn Collective Investment Into a Structured Venture Strategy

Investment clubs bring together people with a shared interest in investing. Moving into early-stage companies, however, requires a different approach to opportunity sourcing, evaluation, portfolio construction and ongoing monitoring.

RSA Ventures works with established investment clubs to help them develop a structured approach to venture investing — from defining the club's investment mandate to identifying opportunities and monitoring the resulting portfolio.

Your Club. Your Investment Mandate. Your Decisions.

We provide the research, frameworks, investment infrastructure and support that can help an established investment club make more informed venture-investment decisions while retaining its own governance and decision-making structure.
