Alumni Ventures Group

Alumni Ventures (AV, formerly Alumni Ventures Group / AVG;; the row's ''alloytx.com'' URL is either a subsidiary vehicle domain or a data-source artifact) is a U.S. venture capital firm headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire, founded in 2014 by CEO Michael Collins (Dartmouth BS Engineering Science; Harvard Business School MBA; previously at TA Associates; serial entrepreneur with prior ventures including Kid Galaxy, Big Idea Group [partially owned by WPP], and RDM) alongside co-founder Luke Antal. AV is positioned as one of the most active U.S. venture firms by deal count and is structured around a distinctive model: it creates and manages 20+ university-alumni-affiliated venture capital funds (including Green D Ventures for Dartmouth alumni, Yard Ventures for Harvard, Spike Ventures for Stanford, Castor Ventures for MIT, Blue Ivy Ventures for Yale, Strawberry Creek Ventures for UC Berkeley, Purple Arch Ventures for Northwestern, Chestnut Street Ventures for Penn, and others) that pool capital from alumni accredited investors (minimum USD 25,000+ investments) to co-invest alongside established lead-investor VC firms, with AV operating exclusively as a co-investor that does not lead rounds or take Board seats. AV manages approximately USD 1.5 billion in assets across 11,000+ individual and institutional investors as of 2025, with over 1,600 current and historical portfolio investments. In March 2022, AV and Collins settled with the SEC and New Hampshire / Massachusetts securities regulators over misleading disclosures about management-fee-structure; AV agreed to repay USD 4.7 million to affected funds and pay a USD 700,000 SEC penalty (plus USD 100,000 personal penalty for Collins) without admitting or denying findings. Portfolio includes Astra, Mythical Games, Vouch Insurance, Nurx, Casper, Better.com, Mic, and many other ventures.
