Key facts, as stated on velero.capital:

- Who it works with: family offices, institutional investors, fund managers and other professional, qualified or accredited investors; and founders, companies, shareholders and real estate sponsors.
- How opportunities are shared: individually, with eligible investors whose mandate they fit, after review. There is no platform or public listing. Access and allocation are never guaranteed, and nothing on the website is an offer or solicitation.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does Velero Capital invest in?

Velero Capital does not invest its own capital. It connects eligible investors with select private-market opportunities in three strategies — late-stage and pre-IPO companies, secondary transactions and institutional real estate — through direct holdings, co-investments alongside a lead sponsor, or dedicated deal-by-deal vehicles.

### Who can invest with Velero Capital?

Family offices, institutional investors and other professional or accredited investors who meet the eligibility rules of their jurisdiction. Opportunities are shared only with eligible investors whose mandate they fit, on a deal-by-deal basis.

### How do secondary transactions work?

Rather than buying new shares in a funding round, investors acquire existing stakes — from founders, employees and early investors, or fund interests from limited partners seeking liquidity. We source the position, run diligence, and manage transfer approvals through closing.

### What advisory services does Velero Capital offer?

A focused corporate finance and cross-border practice: fundraising advisory, corporate development, M&A advisory, cap table and equity advisory, valuation and modelling, joint ventures and partnerships, strategic introductions, market entry and trade access, legal and advisory coordination, and cross-border relationship management.
