What Value Does ARK Bring to Venture Capital?

  1. Access
    We believe our differentiated value proposition combined with our network of co-investors, public companies, founders, and academics provides access to the most promising private technology companies.
  2. Longer-Term Investment Horizon
    Unlike traditional venture capital funds, as a public-private cross-over fund, the ARK Venture Fund can hold shares of companies beyond their IPOs. Additionally, ARK can increase exposure in and support newly public portfolio companies through the ARK ETFs and public equity strategies dependent on investment strategy and corresponding selection criteria.
  3. Platform & Research Ecosystem
    Private portfolio companies can tap into ARK’s proprietary research expertise and broader ecosystem. We encourage private portfolio companies to consult with ARK Venture Fund’s advisory council and to access our network of private and public companies, investors, and academics.

ARK Venture Fund Portfolio Holdings

As an evergreen public-private crossover fund, the ARK Venture Fund can hold shares of companies throughout their private and public market lifecycle, from early stage to mega cap, without the need to sell out after companies go public.
