About the Investment

Gaingels Healthcare Fund I

Targeting Seed to Series B venture investments, the Gaingels Healthcare Fund I aims to raise $10M to invest in early-stage healthcare companies. This fund seeks to support companies that may drive healthcare inclusivity for the LGBTQ+ community.

According to research by Gallup1, the LGBTQ+ community has more than doubled over the last decade. Within the newly-adult Gen Z demographic, approximately 20% identify as LGBTQ+, signaling the potential for meaningful growth in the target demographic.

This increasing population poses an imminent challenge, given that according to the National LGBT Health Education Center2, members of this community can encounter difficulties accessing quality healthcare. Surveying in 2018 by the Center for American Progress3 found that nearly 10% of respondents had a doctor or medical service provider refuse them care due to their orientation and even more avoid care due to concerns over cultural and clinical competency of their providers.

‍

Fund Strategy

The Gaingels Healthcare Fund I Investment Committee intends to allocate the Fund across 25 to 30 investments in early-stage healthcare companies, with 30% reserved for follow-on investing.

‍

‍

The Gaingels Healthcare Fund aims to add value to portfolio companies through a $5M partnership with Eidos at The University of Pennsylvania4.

The Gaingels Healthcare Fund has already made five investments alongside top institutional investors including GV (FKA Google Ventures), Valor Ventures, M13, GreatPoint Ventures, SOSV, and Merck.

Value creation for companies and their investors is increasingly private

‍

‍

According to 2022 data analysis by Dealroom5, over 70% ($7.5T) of the $11T of value creation by companies founded since 2012 was from companies that remained private at that time.

This is supported by research from the National Bureau of Economic Research6, which found that the total number of publicly traded companies in the United States fell from 8,000 to 4,100 from 1996 to 2012, while the rest of the world saw an increase from 30,700 to 39,400.

These figures indicate an increase in private market capital opportunities for businesses, and venture capital plays a key role in this space.

Alto aims to empower individuals with investment opportunities curated for long-term, retirement-oriented consideration. The alignment between alternative assets’ naturally longer-term maturation of value over time and the forward-looking nature of investing for retirement is an overlap in strategy we refer to as duration matching.

Disclosures

*Please be aware that Alto Capital SPV charges an annual management fee upfront. Alto Capital reserves the right to waive this fee at its sole discretion. This fee is charged for the management and operation of the SPV and is separate from the fees associated with the underlying investment opportunity. Understanding that this management fee is an additional cost that will affect the overall return on your investment is crucial. Furthermore, the underlying fund also charges separate fees. These fees differ from the SPV's annual management fee and may impact your investment returns. To ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of all fees and charges that apply to your investment, we strongly encourage you to review the offering documents thoroughly. These documents provide detailed information on all fees, charges, and the terms of your investment.
Neither Alto Securities, LLC (“Alto Securities”) nor any of its affiliates provide any investment advice or make any investment recommendations to any persons, ever, and no communication herein or otherwise shall be construed as investment advice or a recommendation about any specific security offering, investment, asset, or fund.
Private securities are intended for highly sophisticated investors and involve substantial risks. These risks include but are not limited to a lack of operating history, leverage, liquidity of the portfolio, segregated portfolio fund risk, diversification and concentration risk, and long-term investment risk. Past performance does not indicate future results; all investments carry inherent risks. Diversification does not eliminate risk, and returns on investments are not guaranteed. It is advisable to consult with financial professionals and conduct due diligence before making a decision. Furthermore, there is a risk that investors may receive little or no return on their investment or may lose part or all of their investment. However, there can be no assurance that the managers will successfully achieve the investment objective offered or deliver positive returns.
Investing in private securities carries a high risk and is considered speculative. Private securities are illiquid and do not trade like public markets. Illiquidity can result in investors having to sell their private securities at a price lower than their initial investment. This may lead to realized losses when exiting a position, and investors should be prepared for this possibility. An offering's investment objectives are not guaranteed to succeed under all market conditions. A fund's interest income may be affected by various factors, including investment performance, realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, and other pertinent factors.
Concerning any reference to high-net-worth individuals and institutions, it is essential to note that these investors often have substantial financial resources and longer investment horizons, which may differ from those of individual investors. Before participating in these opportunities, potential investors should carefully consider their financial circumstances, risk tolerance, and investment objectives.
