Why late stage venture?

Historically, pre-IPO is a great time to buy

Late-stage venture capital investments typically generate higher returns than any other stage in the asset life cycle.

On average, participating in private markets results in a 66% gain on investment six months after IPO, while purchasing at close on first IPO trading day results in a 1.4% loss.*
