Sweater Ventures

Sweater Ventures is a fintech company that provides a mobile-first platform enabling everyday investors to access venture capital investments. The company offers the Sweater Cashmere Fund, an actively managed portfolio of private, venture capital investments, with a minimum initial investment of $500. The fund is designed to accommodate all investors, regardless of accreditation status, and provides liquidity through semi-annual redemption windows and annual distributions. Investors can participate in the fund via the Sweater app or the company's website.

In September 2024, Sweater Ventures partnered with Forma Capital to enhance the Sweater Cashmere Fund. Under this partnership, Forma Capital took the lead on fundraising, marketing, and capital deployment, while Sweater Ventures continued to oversee investor relations, compliance, and asset valuation functions. This collaboration aimed to accelerate brand awareness, increase assets under management, and access more compelling investment opportunities.

Since its inception, Sweater Ventures has made over 35 investments in high-growth companies across sectors such as consumer goods, consumer technology, financial technology, health technology, and software. The company's mission is to democratize venture capital by providing retail investors with opportunities previously reserved for the ultra-wealthy, thereby empowering them to invest in the next generation of innovative startups.
