Manhattan Venture Partners (MVP)

What they do

MVP is a principal investor and advisory specializing in the secondary market for private venture-backed technology companies. MVP pioneered the institutionalization of this once-democratized asset class. Since 2010, the partners at MVP VC have been integral in the institutionalization of the Direct Secondary market. We are pioneers in this space, and the partners have collectively engaged in more than $10B of primary and secondary venture investments. Our belief is that Direct Secondaries are the evolution of the Secondary LP investing strategy established in the early 1980s and should be treated accordingly. MVP differentiates itself through its unique research and ability to streamline the secondary process by being a principal and advisory to private companies and their shareholders, as well as GPs and LPs. This is accomplished by bringing together the full expertise of our Secondary as a Service™ platform, investment banking expertise, research team, and the All-Star Funds (~$1B AUM Jan 2022).
