Every day, Global University Venturing rounds up the smaller investments from across the university innovation ecosystem in its deal net.
Indiana University (IU) Angel Network invested $35,000 on Friday in the inaugural external funding round for SummaForte, a US-based athletic wellness startup founded by graduates of the university. SummaForte is still in stealth mode, and IU did not name any of the other investors in its funding round.
University venture funds are becoming an increasingly important tool for universities to support their ecosystems — here are the new ones launched in 2024.
Global University Venturing (GUV) is where tech transfer, academic and investment experts meet to explore the latest ideas and technologies driving innovation forward. We drive the discussions and share best practices that are critical to the success of spinouts, scaleouts and innovation programmes. Our aim is to help improve the processes of bringing innovations from academia to global markets and facilitate their integration into the broader business ecosystem.
