Berkeley Frontier Fund is a venture fund that contractually routes a substantial portion of its profits back to UC Berkeley, focusing on Series B and later-stage Berkeley-linked companies to improve its odds of success and speed up donations to campus. It offers founders a way to support Berkeley at no extra cost, has a contractual relationship with Berkeley's IP office to access companies using Berkeley intellectual property, and directs its giving toward specific areas like research infrastructure, fellowships, and entrepreneurship programs, with governance that separates the donation committee from the operating team.
