Castor Ventures is a community of MIT alums: investors, executives, entrepreneurs, and innovation enthusiasts. At our core, we are an MIT alumni venture capital firm. We raise capital from MIT alumni, community members, and friends, and then invest that capital in seed, growth, and later stage companies with an alumni connection. We build a 20-30 company portfolio for our investors that spans industry, stage and geography. The fund seeks to co-invest alongside venture capital and private equity lead investors. We are private, for profit, and not part of (but friendly with) MIT. We are bringing the school's entrepreneurial DNA to our global, engaged community of alumni. By joining thousands of other alums, you will receive monthly updates on our investments, information on events, and other content related to Castor Ventures. You can sign up at our website at www.castorventures.com.
