Otso Ventures

Otso Ventures

We identify and invest in quality private assets, and venture funds. Otso delivers superior performance and liquidity to let you invest on your terms. This is an ‘open ended’ fund and does not involve decade long lockups.

  • A common problem in venture capital is liquidity. But, it does not need to be that way. We allow quarterly redemptions up to the lesser of face value of your initial investment, or the unit value of the investment.

  • We select quality startups and venture funds in which to invest. This fund gives you exposure to VC funds that are usually restricted to large investors. Thus, we aim to combine the best aspects of direct investment funds with those of fund of funds.

  • We have years of experience. Our founder - Mark Humphery - has a PhD in finance, focusing on VC and PE. He has written more than 40 peer reviewed articles, including on VC and PE fund returns. He has also made myriad direct personal investments in early stage startups.
