📢 Unlocking Liquidity Through Small-Cap Tech Buyouts

Over the last six years, we’ve focused on the lower-middle market through our Tech Buyout Funds, tapping into the growing trend of venture-backed exits via private equity which now accounts for over 22% of all VC exits.

We are thrilled to share the close of our second fund, “V2”, at $55.75M!

In V2 we intend to continue partnering with exceptional pre-seed & seed healthcare founders as an additive lead or co-lead partner. Our check sizes will range from $1-2M across 25 companies over the next 3 years.

At @virtue_vc we partner with founders in their earliest financing rounds to tackle the real, intractable problems that continue to hinder the broader healthcare ecosystem. We are honored to have the unwavering support of our best-in-class Limited Partners – and specifically our anchor @CendanaCapital – for allowing us to deepen our commitment to the next generation of healthcare founders.

In the last three years, Virtue’s Fund I portfolio companies – such as @DxSmarter, Evvy, Mural Health, Anna Health, among others – have collectively raised over $225 million, reaching a combined valuation of $1B+.

Our stage and sector specialization allows us to meaningfully support a range of startups that are reshaping how healthcare is delivered, financed, and coded.

We are at an important moment in healthcare, fueled by the convergence of rapid AI breakthroughs, shifting policies and regulatory landscape, pressure to modernize antiquated operating systems and unlock valuable clinical data assets, rising costs of care and life saving drugs, and an evolving cultural sentiment that demands more from our healthcare system.

Several buyers of VC-backed secondaries have closed new funds recently. Industry Ventures raised $1.45B in September for its 10th secondaries fund, + $900M in July for its hybrid fund, 20% of which it will use to purchase LP stakes in venture funds.
