Castor Ventures is a super-responsive, well-connected co-investor which is a go-to shop anytime we’re looking at a start-up with an MIT connection. It’s a smart, easy to work with team and I’m happy to make introductions to Castor knowing the companies will be treated well.
Castor Ventures is a unique opportunity to support and connect with interesting MIT-connected entrepreneurs. As a member of the Investment Committee, I’m amazed by the companies we see and enjoy reviewing the businesses for potential investments by the fund.
Thanks to Alumni Ventures for creating Bascom Ventures! I have enjoyed being a part of successful early-stage initiatives from fellow alumni of the University of Wisconsin. Because of the scale and leverage of the AV group as a whole, the quality of the deals is superior.
The team at Chestnut Street Ventures are the perfect vc partner – super smart, incredibly well-connected and lightning fast responsive...the connection to the broader universe of other Alumni Ventures funds makes the network even more powerful.
