Speaker Thoughts #2! VC Secondaries is gaining momentum in the industry! 🥁 As we gear up for the upcoming 0100 Conference Mediterranean, we spoke with Luca Mannucci, Managing Partner at Sella Venture Partners SGR, to get his insights on the key opportunities investors should focus on and the criteria for selecting the right fund for secondary investments. Sella Venture Partners specializes in acquiring LP stakes in early VC funds across Europe and the US, with typical check sizes ranging from $2M to $5M. According to Luca: “VC secondaries are growing, though still a niche segment of the alternative asset market. Today, the segment has no more than 40-50 professional buyers, which presents both a limitation and an opportunity for funds like ours that are actively involved in this space. We focus on both LP-led and GP-led transactions, but we see the greatest opportunity in the GP-led segment. We typically act as a liquidity provider and problem solver for GPs in early funds. Given the general lack of liquidity, many GPs today have LPs in early funds looking to monetize their investments. Recently, we’ve been involved in two types of transactions: continuation funds—vehicles that transfer existing investments from an older fund into a new structure—and Strip Sales, where GPs sell a portion of their portfolio to create liquidity for their LPs.” If you want to learn more about this market, join us at the 0100 Conference Mediterranean, October 28-30. Luca will be speaking on the panel “VC Secondaries – the Market Opportunity and Ways to Select the Right Fund,” alongside top industry players like Matt Russell, Investment Director at VenCap International plc, and Nick Hendra, Venture Partner at AAF Management Ltd.
