Apple Google SpotifyIn this new episode of Capital Conversations, we speak with Chris Douvos about how the emerging managers segment in venture capital has evolved since 2010.
Chris Douvos founded Ahoy Capital in 2018, focusing on backing emerging venture capital fund managers. With nearly two decades in venture capital, he pioneered the micro-VC movement. The firm is focused on finding intentionally right-sized investment vehicles, believing that size can hinder performance. It prioritizes concentrated portfolios, anchored by top-performing VC managers, alongside dynamic emerging managers and co-investments.
With experience catalyzing leading managers since the early micro-VC days, Ahoy pursues a conviction-based strategy, backing dynamic nascent managers and companies with sustainable competitive advantages or leveraging innovation ecosystems.
