As CIO, Misra will work with Collective’s Investment Committee to oversee all aspects of portfolio construction and investment management. Misra will also manage the ongoing development of Collective’s proprietary valuation technology, which Collective leverages to price the securities of hundreds of venture-backed private companies in real-time. Finally, Misra will assist with capital formation from family offices and institutional investors seeking a liquid, diversified access point to the venture asset class.

Prior to this, Misra gained foundational investment experience at Blackstone Private Equity and research and analysis skills at McKinsey & Company.

Equally importantly, their funds provide institutional investors access to a diversified portfolio of high-quality venture assets.”
