Investment thesis

Xfund backs entrepreneurs who experiment across disciplines, believing that technical talent alone is insufficient to build durable companies. It seeks founders with multidisciplinary abilities and a growth mindset, whether students, faculty, staff, alumni, or self-taught individuals. Born from the networks of Harvard and MIT, the firm invests in transformative technology spun out of leading academic research and labs. Its structure links successful venture capital firms with top research universities, offering portfolio companies access to a network of investors, university faculty, and industry advisors.
