Tomorrow's IPOs Today™Manhattan Venture Partners is a one-stop principal investor and advisory solution to private venture-backed companies. Since 2010 the partners at MVP have been integral in the institutionalization of the Direct Secondary market. We are pioneers in this space and have collectively engaged in more than $10B of primary and secondary venture investments. We believe Direct Secondaries are the evolution of the Secondary LP investing strategy established in the early 1980s.MVP differentiates itself through its unique research, and ability to streamline the secondary process by providing a one-stop principal investing and advisory solution to private companies and their shareholders, as well as GPs and LPs. This is accomplished by bringing together the full expertise of our private equity and investment banking platforms in partnership with our research team.The team at Manhattan Venture Research was the first to produce research on private technology companies. MVR provides insight for investors in the form of unbiased, cutting-edge private company research. These reports have the benefit of alleviating the opacity and informational asymmetry that comes with the venture capital asset class. The reports that MVR produce is akin to when traditional investment banks initiate coverage on public companies, except our universe is exclusively private. We were the first to initiate coverage on Spotify, Palantir, SpaceX, Uber, and Airbnb.Our Secondary as a Service™ team structures programtic liquidity solutions in collaboration with the company where we act as an advisor, investor, and/or book runner. We identify, target, and invest in companies that are well-capitalized by top VCs, have strong earnings growth, and disruptive technology.MVP manages all aspects of the investment to ensure an efficient, transparent, issuer friendly, and regulatory compliant transaction.
