Details of the UE Venture Fund

The University Entrepreneur Venture Fund intends to invest in majority and minority equity interests in early stage companies originated from university and college incubators located throughout North America. The University Entrepreneur Venture Fund's $250,000,000 investment objective is to maximize capital growth, rather than to preserve capital, through investments primarily in micro-equity companies seeking exit strategies and capital growth for their companies.

The University Entrepreneur Venture Fund is the conduit between the funding stage and the operational functions of the business. These investments will vary among several industries. The strategy is to provide investors with capital appreciation by investing primarily in start-ups from incubators in universities and colleges throughout North America.

Ongoing infrastructure and human capital improvement, combined with the economic potential of the various industries in which the start-ups operate, have created significant opportunities for investors to participate in potentially attractive investment opportunities. The University Entrepreneur Venture Fund seeks overlooked, undervalued businesses that provide core products and services.

An important premise of the fund is its geographic focus in that it will seek to fund companies where they are located. This offers a huge advantage to the companies in that they are not forced to move in search of investment money. By funding companies in their backyard it provides a degree of comfort and consistency that can allow the company to remain entirely focused on the business. That focus translates into higher levels of functionality for the companies and ultimately higher degrees of profitability and return for the fund.
