Our mission is to revolutionize access to the asset class – because our grandchildrens' future depends on backing more daring entrepreneurs to drive further innovation, the progress of humankind, prosperity & wealth creation.
In the effort to expand growth and innovation capital, drive future value creation, and democratize related wealth creation, AQVC is a to-be-listed stock company investing in the best and most promising Venture Capital funds around the globe. We research, evaluate and invest capital in VC funds to generate excess returns above traditional asset classes while driving real-world impact and entrepreneurship. We have exclusive access to leading, emerging, and micro funds that have generated ~30% IRR in past generations. We aim to overcome liquidity, collateralization, and transparency constraints of the >$600B p.a. non-public and complex venture capital market. Through the simple purchase of our stocks, investors participate in an actively managed & diversified portfolio of leading VC funds, hundreds of underlying disruptive startups, and world-changing technology.
To tackle our pressing global challenges, venture capital will become even more important in the future than it has been. Any progress of our societies and of humankind have always been driven by capitalizing the visions of great Inventors & Entrepreneurs. May it be the emergence of electricity, computers, vaccines, or the internet, nothing of this would exist without venture capital financing and taking the risk to turn big visions improving the world into becoming a reality.

Besides its fundamental importance for progress, VC has shown steady and significant returns over decades, rewarding investors taking a risk and shaping a better world. However, many asset managers (especially in Europe) do not understand the importance and the return potentials of venture capital enough. We are driven to close the massive lack of innovation & growth capital, especially in Europe. Innovation & growth financing in the USA is ~10x higher per capita than in Germany. German innovation & growth financing in percent of real GDP has declined from ~4% p.A. in 1950-1970 to ~1% in 2000-2020. In order to remain competitive and protect our current prosperity in a competitive global market, we must be willing to invest far more into innovation & growth capital
