About

Miami University’s Premier Business Organization and Student-Led Venture Capital Fund

Investment approach

Thesis
We recognize that we are not only investing in an idea, but we are betting on the management team. Ultimately, our goal is to make an educated determination as to whether the team is creating a disruptive business that will scale over time. We hope each investment leads to an exit with a 10x multiple. Then, we can continue to invest more capital into disruptive startups with Miami ties.Source (opens in a new tab)
Eligibility
In order to gain funding from RedHawk Ventures, at least one founder must be either a current student, faculty member or alumni of Miami University.
Investing status notes
Each semester, Miami affiliated pre-seed and seed-stage startups enter our pipeline, allowing student analysts to gain experience completing due diligence on real companies.
