CerraCap Ventures has invested in Aviato, a data and analytics platform for private markets. Aviato is prepared to provide users with comprehensive insights, enabling the transformation of unstructured data for funds.
Aviato was founded by 17-year-old Eric Zhu, a young, motivated entrepreneur. According to TechCrunch, Aviato has raised $2.3 million in venture funding and Zhu started building the platform from the bathroom of his high school in Carmel, Indiana. And Zhu learned about the startup space from various Discord group chats he joined in 2020 when he was 13. Zhu started a company in 2021 called Esocial and it was acquired ten months later. From there, he joined Bachmanity Capital (Note: Fans of the show Silicon Valley might notice some of the references here).
