About
A student-run, evergreen fund supporting Brown's founders.
Investment approach
- Thesis
- We aim to back Brown's most ambitious students, faculty and alumni. Figma, MongoDB, Warby Parker, Casper and Workday all came out of Brown; each reimagined an industry rather than optimising it. We look for the next set of founders doing something similar, and help them the best we can.Source (opens in a new tab)
- Reserves policy
- All returns are reinvested back into the fund.
- Eligibility
- into startups founded by Brown students, alumni and professors.
- Investing status notes
