VCapital Management

Company Overview

VCapital Management is a Chicago-based boutique venture capital firm that identifies institutional-grade alternatives for high-net-worth individuals and modestly-sized family office investors. The focus is on early-stage investments before valuations are driven too high, generally the first money after the company’s founders or friends and family, either as a late Seed or Series A round investment. Concentration is on the underserved $2M – $5M deal range with additional capital investment in follow-on rounds for companies performing well.

The VCapital team prioritizes research and due diligence to find companies with extraordinarily innovative ideas and management teams. VCapital connects with top academic institutions, accelerators, incubators, and other venture capital firms to create a network of resources and share investment opportunities. In addition to capital, VCapital provides operational expertise, active guidance, and valuable connections to entrepreneurs, increasing the chances for a successful outcome.

Investment Strategy

VCapital offers three ways to diversify a retirement portfolio. Investors can participate in all venture capital investment opportunities in the VCapital Management portfolio, similar to a fund. The company also provides flexibility to investors by offering participation directly in single investments in the portfolio through Special Purpose Funds (SPV). Investors then have the option to choose open investments in the individual companies within the VCapital portfolio that interest them most. Another option is to allocate to all companies via VCapital in combination with one or several individual open opportunities. The minimum investment size for VCapital or individual companies in the portfolio is $25K.

Using an individual retirement account (IRA) to make a venture capital investment is considered a tax-attractive option because the gains from the investment would generally flow back to the retirement account without being initially subject to tax. Additionally, in the case of a self-directed Roth IRA, the income or gains have the potential to be fully tax-exempt.

VCapital Management Series C

VCapital Management is currently accepting Class C investments from Investors on a rolling basis. Since 2015, VCapital has raised over $14M in preferred equity investment to support VCapital operations and build a diversified portfolio of multiple high-potential companies with clear paths to sizeable exits. The company’s Series C equity raise secures operational resources required to accelerate the success of the top eight highest-potential companies in the portfolio. Research indicates these companies will sell or go public within 24-60 months.

With an investment in VCapital Management, a share of the firm’s 20% carried interest is acquired in the future returns across all of our portfolio companies — both currently open to direct investment and currently closed. This unique option increases the opportunity to participate in a successful exit of any individual company in the VCapital portfolio, thus reducing downside risk for the long term. Investors receive the services and management of a traditional venture capital organization with flexibility.

The company may cease offering or accepting Series C units before raising $7.5 million, depending on its assessment of current and future portfolio company valuations. Similarly, should any of the existing investments have an exit or raise additional capital at a significantly increased valuation, VCapital may raise less than $7.5 million.

The pre-money valuation of VCapital Management is $22.5M. The post-money valuation is approximately $30.0M depending on the Series C raise, targeting a 4.8x-7.1x return over five years. VCapital’s income and valuation are derived from the carried interest anticipated from investments it has already facilitated.
