Overview

University Venture Fund Impact Investing (UVF II) provides an unparalleled experiential education for students while delivering professional governance and investment rigor that sophisticated investors require. Formed in 2001 the University Venture Fund (UVF) at the University of Utah was the first and largest experiential student venture fund in the U.S. Supported by investors like James Lee Sorenson Geoff Wolley and Tim Draper and managed by professionals like Jared Hutchens Tom Stringham and Peter Harris UVF has proven the model that students can and will execute alongside industry leading investors. UVF II builds upon the success of UVF I by combining a supervisory structure and a motivated group of students to deploy catalytic capital into social ventures in the Intermountain West and beyond. UVF II is able to invest in early to later stage equity deals as well as provide innovative financing (pay for success revenue based financings) to enterprises that seek to do good while doing well. We believe that the combination of a robust due diligence process with companies that are solving a social problem will produce superior social and financial returns for investors and a more meaningful experience for students.
