Ask HN: How do I invest $1m in VC funds, to diversify from crypto?
3 points by diversify 3088 days ago
How can an individual with a lot of money get access to VC funds? What would you do?

This is a general question as I doubt I’m alone, but I’ll explain my story.

I got into bitcoin when it was a few dollars a pop, ‘diversified’ it to Ethereum around the crowdsale, and now I need to diversify into other asset classes. I have shares and property exposure, but I also want to invest $1m in US-based VC funds.

I know the most established funds are out of the question for me, and while I’ve got opportunities to invest in some small new funds, their portfolios aren’t appealing and I’m not confident in their performance.

I am Australian but I want to invest in US funds. I obviously am an accredited investor. In terms of my value add, I can offer advice and help on most things crypto & blockchain.

This account is a throwaway for obvious reasons, but an email is in my profile.

This kind of spamvertising is more transparent than you seem to think.

I’m also not really interested in angel funds or syndicates.

It's purely coincidence that that account just happened to be created right after the submission and just before the comment, then.
