IPO CLUB announced it has launched its second fund: AMERICA 2030, a $50 million secondary growth fund investing in U.S. defense, energy, security, and AI with Target Maturity in 2030. This fund taps into reshoring, supply chain realignment, and government-backed initiatives, providing accredited investors access to private companies driving America’s industrial and technological renewal.
Through a six-year target maturity, AMERICA 2030 seeks to generate outstanding returns while keeping liquidity high. It acquires Series B+ venture-backed companies at speculative valuations. The fund focuses on technologies benefiting from increased U.S. defense spending, domestic energy expansion, and economic security policies.
AMERICA 2030 targets roughly 30 private companies in secondary transactions and 30% reserved for follow-on opportunities on the primary market. And unlike traditional VC, the fund utilizes secondary market liquidity, allowing for more flexible exits independent of IPO or M&A cycles, with target maturity in 2030.
Some of the key investment themes include:
— Defense & Dual-Use– AI-driven surveillance, autonomous systems, and robotics.
— Energy Security & Industrial Reshoring – Next-gen nuclear, rare earth supply chains, and energy grid modernization.
— Cybersecurity: Protecting key digital and physical assets from threats.
— Critical Infrastructure & Supply Chain Resilience – U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturing and secure communications for AI.
Operating under Regulation D, this fund is designed for accredited investors, family offices, and institutional LPs seeking private market exposure with liquidity advantages over traditional venture models.
