Seize the opportunity. Be audacious.
Who We Are:
Tulane Ventures™ was launched in 2023 and resides under the Tulane Innovation Institute. Tulane Ventures invests in Tulane University professors, students, alumni, and Louisiana-based entrepreneurs.
Tulane Ventures Seed Fund*
Tulane Ventures Seed Fund is the inaugural venture fund for Tulane Ventures™. The $10M Seed fund supports opportunities for start-up businesses and early-stage small businesses with an emphasis on underrepresented, early-stage ventures in Louisiana (Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Individuals, SEDI) and Very Small Businesses (VSBs) as defined by the U.S. Department of Treasury. These entrepreneurs have traditionally faced barriers to accessing capital, markets, and networks essential for growing their businesses. The fund will focus on Louisiana-based ventures in the health/medical, climate/energy, and artificial intelligence/technology sectors. The Tulane Ventures Seed Fund seeks to make investments ranging between $50K and $250K.
