Investment thesis

Dorm Room Fund positions itself as the original student-run venture fund, writing first checks into companies founded by students and recent alumni across college, business school, and PhD programs. Beyond capital, it offers founders access to a large community of investors, operators, and experts, plus introductions to leading firms and guidance drawn from hundreds of fundraises. The fund also serves as an on-ramp into venture careers for its student investors. It emphasizes long-term community ('#DRF4Life') and hands-on support to help founders navigate early-stage fundraising and avoid common first-time mistakes.
