University Funds

There is a global challenge and need today to bring new innovations to market. The University Funds is a new kind of Venture Accelerator, focused on addressing this need by forging strategic partnerships with individuals and formative companies who are pursuing the commercialization of emerging technologies that demonstrate disruptive potential in large markets. Our focus areas include Healthcare-Life Sciences, Alternative and Renewable Energy and Advanced Computing / Communications.

The University Funds has a sophisticated business model that connects emerging technology to market needs by building relationships across the entire commercialization eco-system. To optimize returns and mitigate risk, we have assembled an impressive network of Entrepreneurs Investors, University and Laboratory Partners, Business Services Partners, Executive Partners and Capital Funding sources. To leverage these key partner resources, we operate our centralized Business Accelerator. Run by a team of veteran business executives, the Accelerator serves as the commercialization agent by providing pre-formation IP sourcing and assessments, basic business administrative services, operations support and streamlined operational processes for each Portfolio Company — employing best practice models at each stage of the process.
