Diversifying Investment Across Multiple Companies VIC Investment Network enhances diversification, reducing risk and optimizing success through our investment process: There is a $5,000 minimum investment op-on for automated investments and a $10,000 minimum investment per invested company for individually selected investments. The automated investment option allows an investor to set their investment preferences by company stage of development and have their annual commitment auto-invested in increments as low as $5,000. For example, a $30,000 per year VIN member might choose: Two early stage investments/year (~5-8 years to exit, ~7x-15x return target) Three mid stage investments/year (~3-5 years to exit, ~3x-7x return target) One later stage investment /year (~1-3 years to exit, ~2x-3x return target) Investments are automatically placed in each new investment opportunity in the VIC ecosystem that meets investor criteria until all the investments are placed. The low minimum investment per company offers the ability to reduce overall risk by having multiple opportunities for success. Thus, for the automated investment op-on, the investor may spread their $30k/year minimum total investment across six companies.
