Blue Ivy Ventures An Alumni Ventures Fund
Aug 2016 — Present
Blue Ivy Ventures is a community of Yale alums: investors, executives, entrepreneurs, and innovation enthusiasts with a connection to Yale. At our core, we are a venture capital firm focused on Yale alumni. We raise capital from Yale alums and then invest that capital in seed, growth, and later stage companies with an alumni connection. We build a 20-30 company annual portfolio for our investors that is diverse across industry, stage and geography. The fund seeks to co-invest alongside of established venture capital lead investors. We are bringing the school\'s entrepreneurial DNA to our global, engaged community of Yale alumni. Blue Ivy Ventures is part of the Alumni Ventures family of venture funds.
