Chicago Venture Partners
About Chicago Venture Partners
Chicago Venture Partners (CVP) is a leading provider of capital to emerging and growth-stage small-cap companies listed on the Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange.
Our primary strategy focuses on Private Investments in Public Equities (PIPEs), where we invest our own capital to provide flexible funding solutions across a variety of industry sectors. With experienced and agile team members, we tailor investment sizes and terms to the specific portfolio company.
Our approach is not constrained by rigid templates or funding limits; each opportunity is evaluated on its individual merits.
We have made individual investments of up to $100 million—but our commitment goes beyond providing capital. We remain dedicated to building strong, lasting relationships with our portfolio companies. In fact, 90% of companies that partner with CVP choose to do so again.
Other Private Investments
In addition to our public markets portfolio, CVP also actively seeks private investment opportunities—from acquiring established companies to building new ventures from the ground up. We do our best to align with management teams and offer strategic guidance for operational success. In every case, we bring a hands-on approach, a belief in innovation, and a focus on creating long-term value.
