Investment thesis
Loyal is an evergreen, unitized venture fund investing early in top founders drawn exclusively from three global networks: INSEAD, the Founder Institute pre-seed accelerator, and its own community of 200+ investor LPs. It starts with very small initial checks, then diligences companies from the inside over months before making follow-on rounds highly competitive. Backed by 1,000+ advisors who provide technical, functional and industry expertise plus introductions, the fund aims to earn founder loyalty and preferred access to follow-on deals. The portfolio spans 400+ cross-sector investments across 70+ countries, offering institutional-quality diversification, with exits and dividends distributed to all unit holders for income or reinvestment.
