Confidential call

[ Venture secondaries ]

Liquidity for venture stakes.

Whole portfolios. Single lines. LP stakes. We buy what others won’t price fairly.

(01) Who we buy from

Every stake deserves a next owner.

Fair price. Fast close. Founders kept whole.

  • Corporates

    CVC wind-downs, strategy shifts, carve-outs.

  • Funds & GPs

    End-of-life funds, tail-end portfolios, single assets.

  • LPs

    Fund interests, from tail-end to mid-life.

  • Early shareholders

    Business angels, early employees, founders seeking partial liquidity.

(02) What we buy

Portfolio buyouts Whole or partial portfolios in one closing: strip sale or continuation vehicle.
Single lines One position at a time, in deep tech, industrial and climate companies.
LP stakes Fund interests bought outright, with no lengthy GP process.
Managed transition We run the portfolio and sit on the boards through to each exit.

(03) Track record

Several deals. One to learn from.

Aster has completed several secondary transactions, most of them confidential. The one you can learn from: TotalEnergies Ventures, 18 minority stakes, mostly in Europe and the US.

(04) Why Aster

  • We know the assets.

    25 years in early-stage venture capital: we price hard-tech companies that generalist buyers discount.

  • We move fast.

    Flexible tickets and structures, opportunistic by design. Decisions in weeks, not quarters.

  • Founders stay backed.

    We stay an active shareholder. No fire sale.
