USC Marshall

The USC Marshall Venture Fund considers investments in ventures with USC alumni, faculty, or staff as founders, co-founders, or senior management team members. The Fund’s mission is threefold: (1) to bridge the funding gap for USC-affiliated early-stage companies and amplify the impact for later-stage ones; (2) educate students on how to evaluate potential investments, advise investment decisions, and manage portfolio firms; and (3) engage alumni, advisors, experts, and other stakeholders in helping build the entrepreneurial ecosystem at USC and in Southern California. 

If you have a startup and would like to be considered for an MVF investment, we accept inquiries throughout the Academic Year.
