Wolverine Venture Fund
The world’s first student-run venture capital fund.
Organized by MBA students and graduate students from life sciences and biomedical engineering. You’ll source, analyze, and perform due diligence on investments in Series A through C venture capital rounds. You’ll work with other venture capital firms, company founders and management, and technical experts. You’ll also follow the progress of portfolio companies. The Fund has invested in companies that have gone public, been sold to strategic buyers, or failed. Many students go on to work in the venture capital industry.
