An Introduction to Alumni Ventures’ Quarter 2 Focused Funds: Healthtech and Blockchain
Below are two short snippets from our webinar featuring Alumni Ventures’ two new Focused Funds, open through June 30, 2022.
From 2019 to 2020, venture funding for health tech innovators nearly doubled to $14B. Healthtech is the fastest growing segment of healthcare, and Alumni Ventures’ Healthtech Fund offers the chance to own ventures pursuing impactful medical advances which may redefine patient care, longevity, and the means to protect the world against deadly diseases.
Blockchain technology offers unparalleled transparency, immutability, and security across industries, sectors, and applications. Innovative companies are utilizing this revolutionary technology to deliver faster, cheaper, and more accessible and efficient data sharing. Alumni Ventures’ Blockchain Fund offers investors the chance to own difference-making ventures using blockchain technology to innovate and disrupt business.
Watch two short snippets of Alumni Ventures’ CEO Mike Collins and CIO Anton Simunovic’s discussion on our two new Focused Funds targeting companies innovating in the growing areas of healthtech and blockchain technology.
