Company Description

AlumniFunder helps create a deeper relationship between current students and alumni, while supporting collegiate entrepreneurship.

AlumniFunder is a marketplace for ideas, where youthfully minded doers seek biased capital. The company facilitates the connection between funders and doers for specific projects (e.g., social entrepreneurship, campus impact, design, research) and startups within university alumni ecosystems. AlumniFunder seeks to enrich the experiential education of students as well as the reach of alumni to execute on worthy projects. Further, the company is building a free platform to support equity investing in startups and technology-transfer initiatives that will launch this summer, alongside a $10MM side-car fund that will co-invest 1/3 with the alumni 'crowd.'
