SaxonWeber Funds provides private investors access to single-asset funds investing in carefully selected late-stage venture companies through primary and secondary opportunities.
We work with a limited number of qualified purchasers: family offices, institutional allocators, and sophisticated individuals. Clients who want direct, transparent access to specific private names alongside Tier 1 GPs, backed by institutional-grade compliance and diligence.
Each fund invests in one carefully selected late-stage venture company, providing clear transparency into where your capital is deployed.
Our deal flow is sourced through established relationships with leading venture capital firms. Qualified purchasers gain access to opportunities alongside the same Tier 1 GPs already invested.
We source and evaluate opportunities in mid-to-late stage venture companies, focusing on both common and preferred equity positions.
SWF operates with a dual regulatory framework. Institutional-grade compliance through SEC (ERA) and FINRA (Broker-Dealer) oversight underpins our entire process.
Investors may have the opportunity to transfer their LP interest prior to an underlying company liquidity event, facilitated through our secondary market capabilities.
Every fund is administered through Carta, providing real-time access to capital account statements, K-1 tax documents, subscription documentation, and distributions entirely digitally.
We operate across the advisory and brokerage sides of private markets to deliver high-conviction deal execution. By focusing on a specific target profile of late-stage venture opportunities, we ensure transparent, aligned investment structures.
We source opportunities through established relationships with venture capital firms, institutional investors, secondary market platforms, and direct company relationships. Each potential investment undergoes rigorous evaluation including financial analysis, market assessment, competitive positioning, and terms review.
SaxonWeber Funds' principal may co-invest in each vehicle alongside investors, ensuring direct alignment of interests. The fee and carry structure is designed to align the fund manager's incentives with investor outcomes.

Our investment process is designed to provide private investors with access to carefully vetted late-stage venture opportunities through a transparent and efficient structure.
We identify potential investment opportunities through our network of venture capital firms, secondary market platforms, and direct relationships. Each opportunity undergoes comprehensive due diligence including financial analysis, market assessment, competitive review, and terms evaluation.
For each selected opportunity, we form a single-asset fund designed to hold that specific investment. The structure is established with appropriate legal documentation, governance provisions, and reporting requirements.
Investors are provided with detailed information about the investment opportunity, including company overview, financial metrics, terms of investment, and structure. Qualified investors with a pre-existing substantive relationship may be invited to participate, subject to applicable legal requirements, minimum investment thresholds, and subscription documentation.
Once the fund reaches its target raise and all subscription documentation is complete, capital is called and the investment is executed according to the agreed-upon terms. All investors receive confirmation of their position in the fund.
Following investment execution, every SWF fund is administered via a dedicated Carta portal. Investors gain real-time access to their position, capital account statements, K-1 tax documents, and digital distributions in a clean, auditable environment.
