The firm aims to combine seasoned judgment with practical knowledge to foster emerging technologies and support disciplined founders. Although specific AUM details are not public, their Form ADV filing indicates a total Gross Asset Value of $23,460,000 across two private funds (Venture Capital and Private Equity). PAV's investment approach involves significant capital deployment, as evidenced by their participation in Butlr's Series B and Cast AI's Series C rounds.
