BR Venture Fund

BR Venture Fund (Big Red Ventures) is an early‑stage, student‑run venture capital fund based at Cornell University’s Johnson Graduate School of Management in Ithaca and New York City that provides seed capital—typically up to ~$25 k per deal—and business‑development support to high‑growth U.S. companies across industries as part of a teaching and investment program managed by MBA and graduate students; founded in 2001, the fund operates on an evergreen structure that recycles returns to reinvestment while leveraging Cornell’s research resources and networks to connect portfolio companies with expertise, capital partners and academic innovation.
