Frequently asked questions

Does UGF have any relationship to university endowments?

Despite the name, University Growth Fund is not the venture arm of any university endowment. It is an independent fund that draws its name from its workforce composition — undergraduate students — rather than any formal tie to a university's investment office.

Who are the professional venture partners overseeing student teams?

Specific names of UGF's professional investment committee members are not publicly documented. The firm's website and press materials have not named the GPs or managing partners who sit alongside student analysts on investment decisions.
