4A. Advisory Firm
MVP Manager is a registered limited liability company (LLC) investment advisor formed
in September 2014. MVP Manager is wholly-owned by Manhattan Venture Partners
LLC, which in turn is controlled by Eric Brachfeld, Jared Carmel and Bradley Fishman.
MVP Manager manages various investment funds (the “Managed Funds”) that invest in
mid- to late-stage private technology companies that have been backed by top-tier
venture capital firms. The majority of these investments come in the form of secondary
purchases, i.e., purchase of shares from existing investors, although the Managed Funds
also participate in primary financings. MVP Manager does not provide any services to
individuals.
MVP Manager maintains discretion and authority to manage and direct the investment
of
capital for the Managed Funds, pursuant to, and as limited by, a management
agreement executed between MVP Manager and the Managed Fund. The focus of each
Managed Fund is described in that fund’s offering documents. As of December 31, 2022,
MVP Manager managed $ $813,911,222 on a discretionary basis on behalf of 62
Managed Funds. The Managed Funds are offered to accredited, qualified and
institutional investors exclusively on a “private placement” basis. As described below,
MVP Manager began providing advice to these investment funds as of September 2014.
MVP Manager utilizes the many years of experience and industry contacts of its
professional staff for locating and purchasing shares of private, venture-capital backed
technology companies which will be described further in this document.
