WHAT IS UVF?
The University Venture Fund is the premier student investing experience. At UVF, students engage in a bona fide investment fund where they scrutinize new ventures, debate investment decisions, and make real impact.
"If this were around when I was in school, I'd probably still be in school."
Warren Buffett
OUR APPROACH
Students and UVF stakeholders source and intake new deals
Students take the first look at new investment opportunities and present findings to their peers
After initial screening, a select group of student associates begin more advanced phases of due diligence
Student teams are mentored by management as recommendations and investment materials are developed
UVF's investment committee, consisting of seasoned investors, examines students' recommendations and decide whether to invest
WHO WE ARE
We are a mission-driven network of students, mentors, alumni, investors, and innovators.
"Leave it to young, idealistic college students to blaze the trail."
"The University Venture Fund is the world's largest independently managed fund run entirely by students."
"It's hard to put into words just how
massive the [UVF] opportunity is."
