| Primary audience | Accredited investors in the Houston area who want to make and manage their own early-stage investments | Participants in the Los Angeles venture ecosystem: venture capitalists, limited partners, family offices, angel investors, founders of venture-backed companies, and the professional services firms around them |
| Typisches Mitglied | Members are accredited investors as defined in SEC Regulation D. The group draws heavily on Houston's energy, technology and health/life-sciences communities, and members invest their own money deal by deal rather than through a pooled fund. | LAVA's own description covers limited partners, venture capitalists, family offices, angel investors, founders, incubators, accelerators, universities, researchers, mentors, government officials and legal, accounting, marketing and PR service providers. Its membership tiers price these groups differently, with separate rates for entrepreneurs, investors, VC partners, limited partners and academics. |
