Isis Innovation, the technology transfer unit of Oxford University, has launched its second Isis fund this year in collaboration with Parkwalk Advisors.
The fund, the size of which was undisclosed, comes shortly after Isis’ first fund with Parkwalk started in February. Moray Wright, director of Parkwalk Advisors, said the fund will be “relatively small” and priority in the fund will be given to alumni and existing investors.
Further details will be reported as they become available.
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.
