79. How to Achieve Institutional Terms on Venture Capital Investments with Alec Ellison

Speculation is often the most exciting and riskiest part of a wealth-building strategy. Venture capital is a great way to potentially boost your overall portfolio returns with a small allocation to this type of speculation. We usually talk about boring (consistent) returns on real estate investments, but today we are switching gears and chasing shiny objects! Listen in as Alec Ellison, Chairman of OurCrowd US, explains how to reduce risk while investing in startups, Series A, unicorns, and much more. These are definitely more risky than our typical real estate investment, but a small and careful allocation to venture capital can have positive effects on your overall portfolio. Tune in as Alec shares his journey with Jim Pfeifer on what it’s like to pursue a proprietary public investment strategy, how to capitalize on the accelerating rate of technological change impacting companies across all industries, and learn why most startups aren’t going public as early or often as in the past.
