We Co-Create Advantaged Startups
to Solve Societal Problems

Co-Creation

Unlike a traditional venture fund that invests in existing startup, the 1842 Fund partners with the commercialization arm of the University and a new impact-oriented venture studio.
Faculty, student, and community innovations emerging from the Commercialization Engine.
Venture studio that builds and accelerates software startups targeting important challenges.

A First-of-its-Kind Collaboration

The 1842 Fund is an inception and pre-seed stage venture capital fund anchored by the University of Notre Dame and managed by High Alpha Innovation.
