About Atlantic Family Office Alliance (AFOA)
The Atlantic Family Office Alliance (AFOA) connects Family Offices and high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) across the United States, Latin America, and Europe. We specialize in organizing and managing syndicated collaborative club investments in Venture Capital, Private Equity, Real Estate, and Digital Assets like crypto. Our members become part of an international community that shares advice, resources, and investment opportunities, enriching not only their lives but also those of family generations to come.
Our Vision and Mission
As a diversified investment alliance, AFOA supports Family Offices, and HNWI who are seeking to build their wealth and maximize their impact in the world. We provide an opportunity to collaborate on investments in assets classes like Venture Capital, Private Equity, Real Estate and Digital Asset (like Crypto) and support the founders of our member's portfolio companies with capital & advise for global scaling and expansion.
As an alliance of equals, we will focus our activities on bundling our global network of capital, investors, mentors, and advisors. In the Family Office context, it truly takes a caring, multidisciplinary team of professional advisors to holistically serve and support the family and their Family Office. By doing this we identify and create unique opportunities based on real insights, bundling the firepower and expertise from our global network. We create alpha not by inventing new strategies, but by excelling in executing selected strategies in the above asset classes including a hands-on approach towards portfolio management after Closing.
Where do we invest?
AFOA proudly highlights our range of investment services tailored for Family Offices and HNWIs. Our international community is built on shared expertise, resources, and a commitment to enriching the lives of our members and future generations.
Investment Structure
Our member committed AFOA Alliance group will invest a defined amount of capital based on a majority vote from the investment committee. The investments will be made via SPVs. The managers will recommend an investment amount based on an in-depth company analysis. Even with our group investments, we will allow members to make additional, separate investments (“sidecar investments”) in proportion to the group investments in companies chosen for such group investments, and anyone is entitled to make an investment in companies not chosen for group investments once the decision is final and has been communicated to the group.
Why to join the AFOA Alliance
If your current capital allocation strategy is not yielding optimal results, you are not alone. Many Family Offices and HNWI are facing this challenge and looking for solutions. Together, we can explore how to optimize capital allocation across various alternate asset classes, including investments in sectors such as Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Quantum Computing, Health & BioTech, SpaceTech, ClimateTech, and Impact Investing in Energy Transition, Food, Property Tech, and Agriculture.
We also provide access to bespoke, off-market opportunities either from members of the AFOA Alliance or opened by the partners of AFOA Capital Partners. By building a global network of like-minded families, we aim to navigate the evolving investment landscape, achieve exceptional financial outcomes, nurture cross-border relationships, and make a positive impact on both sides of the Atlantic.
