The ARK Venture Fund provides investors diversified exposure to private and public companies across their lifecycles. As an evergreen public-private crossover fund, it democratizes venture capital by offering partial liquidity via quarterly redemptions, a departure from traditional venture structures. Rigorous due diligence and a proprietary scoring system guide investment selection.
Established on September 23, 2022, by ARK Investment Management LLC, the fund emerged from the insight that private market opportunities need broader accessibility. Under founder Cathie Wood's leadership, ARK extended its focus on disruptive innovation, enabling wider participation in venture capital and directly confronting barriers to entry.
Catering to all U.S. self-directed investors, including non-accredited individuals, the fund accepts investments from $500. It also serves registered investment advisors and institutional clients.
