Access the
Proven Winners.
Tier 1 Fund invests exclusively in growth-stage companies already backed by the world's top venture firms—Sequoia, a16z, Accel, and Greylock.
The De-Risked
Advantage
Venture capital follows a power law. A small fraction of startups generate the vast majority of returns. These winners are almost always identified early by Tier 1 VCs.
By investing only after these top firms have conducted rigorous due diligence and committed capital, we significantly reduce the failure rate while maintaining exposure to massive upside.
Pre-Vetted Excellence
We don't guess. We follow the smartest money in the room. Every portfolio company has passed the investment committee of a top-tier firm like Sequoia or Andreessen Horowitz.
Growth-Stage Focus
We enter when product-market fit is proven and scaling is the primary challenge. This avoids the high mortality rate of seed-stage investing.
Access for the Rest of Us
Top-tier deals are typically locked up in Silicon Valley networks. We bridge the gap, bringing premium access to LPs in Texas, the Midwest, and beyond.
The Power of
Tier 1 Selection
Historical data shows that companies backed by top firms disproportionately dominate IPOs and massive exits.

Fund Performance
Top-tier VC funds consistently outperform public markets over 10-year horizons. Access to these returns has historically been limited to institutional insiders.
Why Now?
The 2025 vintage is showing strong signs of recovery with median IRRs turning positive. Now is the optimal time to deploy capital into proven winners at rational valuations.
