The Millennial VC was the operating entity behind a series of venture funds, previously affiliated with the Rothenberg Ventures 2013 Fund, Rothenberg Ventures 2014 Fund, Rothenberg Ventures 2015 Fund, and Rothenberg Ventures 2016 Fund, as well as the River Accelerator and River Studios. The firm has since ceased active operations following a series of legal actions against its founder.
The Millennial VC carries a significant legal history. The SEC charged Rothenberg and the firm in 2018 with an alleged scheme involving excess fees and misappropriation from venture funds; the matter was settled without either party admitting or denying the allegations. A federal court approved a final judgment enjoining Michael B. Rothenberg from violating Investment Advisers Act antifraud provisions, and he was ordered to pay more than $18.7 million in disgorgement, more than $3.6 million in prejudgment interest, and a $9 million civil penalty. In November 2023, a federal jury convicted Michael Brent Rothenberg of wire fraud, money laundering, bank fraud, and making false statements to a bank.
