Investment in unconventional asset categories such as venture capital may now be made possible via TVP’s first institutional feeder fund that accepts bitcoin as a form of collateral. Also on the team are Stephen Cole, who has joined TVP as a venture partner to help locate specific fund transactions, and Matthew Snow as a senior analyst.
