Investment thesis

Strawberry Creek Ventures gives accredited UC Berkeley alumni access to venture capital through a diversified annual fund (20-30 investments) and deal-by-deal syndicates. It invests across stages, sectors, and geographies, co-investing alongside established lead VC firms such as Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia, and Khosla. The fund reserves capital for follow-on rounds, while the syndicate lets members choose individual deals with access to due diligence materials and investment memos. Backed by Alumni Ventures' nationwide team and large alumni network, the model emphasizes diversification, shared diligence, and low investment minimums for members seeking strategic exposure to venture capital alongside fellow alums.
