Courtyard Ventures
Overview
Courtyard Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund founded in 2021 and based in Berkeley, California. The fund is run and backed by students and alumni from UC Berkeley's Haas MBA program and invests in pre-seed and seed-stage startups emerging from the UC Berkeley ecosystem. It operates with an industry-agnostic approach and typically provides initial investments ranging from $50,000 to $100,000. The firm intends to donate a portion of its profits back to organizations at UC Berkeley that support the startups it invests in. There is evidence of a successor fund, with mentions of a "Courtyard Ventures Fund II".
