CoVenture is an alternative asset manager, focused on underwriting and originating emerging and novel asset classes created upon the foundation of robust technology. CoVenture currently executes this theme across two principal investment platforms: Credit Opportunities and Venture Capital.
CoVenture’s Credit Opportunities platform identifies novel origination businesses which utilize technology to observe previously unobservable data points throughout the underwriting process.

For example, we finance (i) a business that purchases libraries of YouTube videos, (ii) a company that provides small business loans to e-commerce companies, (iii) a company that finances perishable produce, (iv) a business that factors invoices from digital media companies, and several others.
