Our Value To Syndicate Investors

Investing in the best, alongside the best

Venture capital is highly asymmetric: the top 2% of funds capture nearly 95% of industry returns. Tier One gives its members the opportunity to co-invest alongside these top-tier funds and access opportunities traditionally reserved for Silicon Valley insiders.

Artificial Intelligence

AI is the first general-purpose technology in a generation capable of reordering labor, software, and scientific discovery in parallel. We invest in frontier model labs and the infrastructure layer where the durable economics of intelligence will be won.

Tier1 Ventures — Important information

This website is not directed at the general public and does not constitute an offer to the public, a prospectus, investment advice or a personal recommendation. Access to deal information and participation in any investment is restricted to (i) qualified investors within the meaning of Art. 2(e) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, (ii) professional and semi-professional investors within the meaning of § 1(19) nos. 32 and 33 KAGB, and (iii) in the United Kingdom, investment professionals, high net worth individuals, and certified or self-certified sophisticated investors within the meaning of Articles 19, 48, 49, 50 and 50A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005. This website is not directed at US Persons as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, or at any person in a jurisdiction where its availability would be unlawful.

In the United Kingdom, this communication is exempt from the general restriction in section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 on the grounds that it is made only to the persons described above. Reliance on it for the purpose of engaging in any investment activity may expose you to a significant risk of losing all of the property or other assets invested. If you are in any doubt, you should consult an authorised person specialising in advising on investments of this kind.

Capital at risk. Investments in unlisted early-stage companies are high risk and illiquid. You may lose the entire amount invested. There is no established secondary market and your holding may be diluted by later financing rounds. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results, and any forward-looking statement may not be achieved. Your investment is not covered by the German deposit guarantee scheme (Einlagensicherung), the Entschädigungseinrichtung der Wertpapierhandelsunternehmen, or the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme, and complaints cannot be referred to the UK Financial Ombudsman Service. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may change. You should invest only what you can afford to lose in full, and should take independent professional advice before investing.
