University Growth Fund gives its students real responsibility—running diligence, voting on every investment, and helping portfolio companies after the money is invested—while overseeing more than $80 million across 14 universities, and it typically co-invests alongside other firms rather than leading rounds or chasing early seed deals. The fund also stands out for building a venture pipeline for Black and Brown students in Atlanta, partnering with schools like Morehouse, Spelman, and Georgia State and running workshops and a case competition to introduce students to venture careers before recruiting them.
