Wolverine Venture Fund

About Wolverine Venture Fund

The Wolverine Venture Fund is the first student-led venture capital fund that focuses on early-series opportunities in biomedicine, healthcare IT, advanced materials, and other emerging technologies. Organized by MBA students and graduate students from life sciences and biomedical engineering. You’ll source, analyze, and perform due diligence on investments in Series A through C venture capital rounds. You’ll work with other venture capital firms, company founders and management, and technical experts. You’ll also follow the progress of portfolio companies. The Fund has invested in companies that have gone public, been sold to strategic buyers, or failed. Many students go on to work in the venture capital industry. The team consists of Ross MBA students as well as students from other graduate programs at the University of Michigan. We collaborate with VCs and CEOs to perform due diligence to invest approximately $50k-$200k in startup opportunities alongside VC firms. WVF Student Advisor members learn to assess the potential of a new technology and market, conduct series A and B due diligence, and create and defend investment theses.
