Student Organizations
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.
Our Investment Committee
Fund managers, Venture Lab instructors, and Venture Lab students work each term with volunteer investors with substantial VC experience in Southern California and Silicon Valley.
Our Investment Committee includes and has included partners from numerous VC firms, including B Capital, Craft Ventures, Greycroft, Kleiner Perkins, Index Ventures, JLL Speak, MaC Venture Capital, Plus Capital, Slauson & Co., TenOneTen, Vulcan Capital, and Wonder Ventures.
Please EMAIL if you are interested in getting involved in the fund as an advisor or donor.
