Rutt Bridges Venture Fund

The Rutt Bridges Venture Fund (RBVF) is an early-stage, micro-investment fund operated by a cross-disciplinary team of University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver) students. Under the supervision of faculty members and professional advisors, the Fund invests real money in real companies in the Denver community. RBVF at CU Denver accepts business plan submissions semiannually at the start of the fall and spring semesters. We seek innovative, high-impact ideas in which to make investments of $5,000 to $50,000. Please note that we do not invest in real estate, gambling, cannabis, or any other industry incompatible with the mission of CU Denver. At RBVF, you and other exceptional students at CU Denver come together to run a bona fide investment fund. Faculty members and professional advisors will support and mentor you throughout the entire process. Together, you will research, debate, and make real investment deals that will impact the Denver area and beyond.
