AQUATY and Preva Partner to Provide Access to U.S. Tech Innovation for European Investors
AQUATY, a leader in technology-driven solutions for private market investments, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Preva, offering curated deals in high-growth venture capital-backed U.S. technology companies. Together, AQUATY and Preva are redefining access to U.S.-based venture capital and growth equity, breaking down traditional barriers and making private market investments more accessible for European investors.
For years, innovative American tech companies have remained private longer, accumulating substantial value before going public. This trend has left public market investors unable to participate in the high-growth phases of these companies.
This partnership empowers accredited European investors with access to individual high-growth U.S. tech companies backed by top-tier Silicon Valley institutional investors.By pooling investments starting at €10,000 and acquiring shares through secondary transactions, AQUATY and Preva offer a seamless way for investors to participate in these exclusive opportunities. European investors can now build their own direct venture portfolios, bypassing the high costs associated with venture capital fund-of-fund structures.
Julian Hemmerich, Founder and Managing Director of Preva, commented: “The race on artificial intelligence supremacy is happening in the U.S., not Europe. Preva is here to provide Europeans direct access. While AQUATY handles the legal, compliance, and operational aspects, we can focus on sourcing exclusive deals and fostering a thriving investment community.”
To simplify the investment process, Preva uses AQUATY’s proprietary platform and multi-special purpose vehicle (SPV) framework. The SPV framework consolidates multiple investments under a single, legally compliant structure, significantly reducing costs, complexity, and administrative requirements. By providing access to fractional securities, the partnership enables investors to participate with smaller commitments, enhancing flexibility and transparency.
Alexander Grimm, Co-Founder of AQUATY, stated: “AQUATY and Preva share the goal of transforming private market investments into a more inclusive, efficient, and accessible ecosystem. Through this partnership, we’re not just transforming the investment process with cutting-edge technology and curated expertise; we’re opening up an asset class that was previously out of reach for most private investors.”
