Broadway Ventures

In 2014, a group of visionary investors recognized a critical gap in the investment landscape: the need for a data-driven approach that could consistently deliver above-market returns while maintaining disciplined risk management. They founded Social Discovery Ventures (SDV) with a conviction that modern investment strategies needed to harness cutting-edge technology and deep economic insights. Over the past decade, SDV has evolved from this initial insight into a sophisticated global investment management firm, managing diverse portfolios across venture capital, private equity, public markets, and commercial real estate. What began as a focused investment initiative has transformed into a comprehensive platform that allocates capital across 32 venture capital and private equity funds, manages 30+ real estate properties globally, and maintains a balanced public market portfolio that consistently outperforms benchmarks. SDV's approach combines rigorous data analysis, proprietary algorithms, and specialized expertise for each asset class. Beyond financial returns, the firm is committed to impact investments in technologies that foster social discovery, meaningful connections, mental well-being, and longevity - reflecting founder Dmitry Volkov's vision to fight loneliness and improve quality of life through digital innovation in AI and social technology.
