We are a Venture Capital firm and community of Yale alumni investors, executives, entrepreneurs, and innovation enthusiasts. We raise capital from Yale alumni and invest alumni-led startups. We are private, for profit, and not part of (but friendly with) Yale. Every year, we build a portfolio of 20-30 companies spanning industry, stage and geography. We co-invest alongside top-tier venture capital and private equity lead investors. We are an experienced, diverse community of alumni with different backgrounds and reasons for joining. If you are a Yalie interested in entrepreneurship or venture capital, let's connect. Contact me at tobi@blueivyfund.com to discuss more.
