Tomorrow's IPOs Today MVP.vc is a merchant bank focused on the secondary market for late-stage, venture backed, technology companies.

Tomorrow's IPOs Today Since 2010 the partners of Manhattan Venture Partners (MVP.vc) have been integral in the institutionalization of the secondary market for late-stage, venture-backed companies. The firm’s partners are pioneers in the space and have collectively engaged in more than $2 billion in private transactions, including primary and secondary venture investments. MVP.vc differentiates itself through its unique research and ability to streamline the transaction process by providing a one-stop principal investing and advisory solution to private companies and their various shareholders, as well as GPs and LPs. We accomplish this by bringing together the full expertise of both our private equity and investment banking platforms in partnership with our research team. The team at Manhattan Venture Research (MVR) lead by Santosh Rao was the first to produce, sell side style research on private technology companies. MVR provides insight for investors in the form of unbiased and cutting-edge private company research reports. These reports have the benefit of alleviating the opacity and informational asymmetry that comes with the venture capital asset class. The reports that MVR produce are akin to what Goldman or Evercore would initiate on public companies like Apple and Facebook. The team publishes at least four company-specific reports and two macro reports per year. Historical reports include Cloudera, Alibaba, Snap, Uber, and Airbnb Through the MVP All-Star Fund, MVP Opportunity Fund and VNTR Securities we identify opportunities and target companies that are well capitalized by top VCs, have tremendous growth rates and have a lower risk on the underlying business, technology, and ability to execute a defined strategy. MVP.vc manages all aspects of the transaction by facilitating communication with buyer, seller, counsel and the company. Therefore, we can ensure an efficient, transparent, issuer friendly and US regulatory compliant transaction.
