Purdue Foundry Investment Fund invests in Purdue-connected startups with a life science focus spanning human, plant, and animal health. A company qualifies when a founder or C-suite member is a Purdue University student, faculty member, staff member, or alum, or when it licenses Purdue-owned intellectual property.
Purdue Innovates Ventures manages the fund as one of its pools of capital, alongside the Ag-celerator Fund, the Black and Gold Fund, and the Purdue Startup Fund. It backs pre-seed through Series A+ companies that have a demonstrated proof of concept, at least one full-time equivalent, and the ability to attract outside capital.
