ASVF I Fundraising Round Successfully Completed!

Anderson Social Venture Fund raised over $600 in under two weeks from the Anderson Community. Members of the Anderson Community were each asked to contribute $1 or $2. To our amazement, almost 60% of the Class of 2009 participated. We also had strong participation from staff, faculty, and alumni.

The ASVF Investment Committee met on June 28th and identified three entrepreneurs to invest in based on several investment criteria. For details on the selection criteria and investment choices, please see the next post.

We are excited to kick off this innovative program and look forward to growing it over the next year! Thank you to all our contributors and supporters.
