VCapital is focused on creating compelling venture investment opportunities for affluent and high net worth individual investors. Len Batterson is the CEO and Chairman of the firm and an extraordinarily successful investor in Chicago venture capital circles since the early '80's. VCapital invest in early-stage companies that we feel possess the potential to become world class enterprises within a relatively short time frame and grow to a profitable exit — typically a sale to a larger competitor or an IPO. Return to investors has averaged nearly 29% annually over 35 years for deals in which Len has been personally responsible and his win rate — that is the percentage of investments that have gone on to a successful exit transaction — is close to 40%. National average win rate for all forms of venture capital is closer to 16% according to a recent study published in the Wall Street Journal. VCapital charges it’s investors a 2% management fee and 20% carry, similar to other venture capital firms. Their unique model allows accredited investors to pick and choose which, if any, companies they would like to invest in and weigh their investment amount accordingly. This model allows for transparency and flexibility for the investor.
