APEIRA CAPITAL ADVISORS LLC

Thesis

It combines traditional venture capital with hedge fund techniques, focusing on private technology companies. The firm's expertise lies in consumer technology, tech-enabled, and deep-tech sectors, primarily targeting early growth companies at Series A through C stages, but also considering late-stage and pre-IPO opportunities. Their core strategy is long-only, using equity and synthetic equity structures. Uniquely, Apeira Capital also seeks to opportunistically short private company valuations deemed vulnerable, capturing negative value through derivative technology and bespoke private synthetics. This multi-directional approach aims to generate returns across various valuation scenarios, offering enhanced venture upside and reduced risk. The firm manages Apeira Capital Fund I LP, a growth equity and tactical opportunities fund. While specific AUM is not disclosed, their strategy suggests a focus on capturing both positive and negative value. Natalie Hwang, the founder, has prior experience founding Simon Ventures and working in hedge fund seeding at The Blackstone Group, and has been recognized for developing unique venture strategies.
