University of Cambridge Enterprise Fund IV enables university alumni and investors to back companies emerging from Cambridge University.

University of Cambridge Enterprise Funds and Parkwalk Advisors have launched the University of Cambridge Enterprise Fund IV.

University of Cambridge Enterprise Funds enable university alumni and investors to back the development of scientific and technological discoveries made at the university. The funds usually co-invest in companies alongside Cambridge University.

Fund IV will follow the same course as the three funds that preceded it, investing in spinouts.

The fund will also provide tax relief through the Enterprise Investment Scheme and the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme where possible. These schemes were recently shown to increase investments, as reported by our sister site Global Government Venturing.

Anne Dobrée, head of seed funds at Cambridge Enterprise, said: “The University of Cambridge Enterprise Funds have been an important source of funding for our young companies and are a great way for Cambridge alumni and friends to support the university.”
