About Indiana University Philanthropic Venture Fund

The Philanthropic Venture Fund was established in 2017 by the IU Research and Technology Corporation (IURTC) and the IU Foundation to help achieve one of the university’s Bicentennial Priorities, Building a Prosperous and Innovative Indiana. Managed by IURTC, the fund aims to bridge the gap in the startup funding continuum by making equity investments in high-potential early-stage companies with IU ties.
