Launched in conjunction with Cambridge Enterprise, the University’s Technology Transfer subsidiary responsible for commercialisation arrangements for University discoveries, the University of Cambridge Enterprise Funds offer alumni and investors the opportunity to invest in the development of scientific and technological discoveries made at the University of Cambridge in a tax efficient manner.

The University of Cambridge Enterprise Funds generally co-invest alongside the University’s own funds, taking advantage of the infrastructure and expertise already in place.

The Funds provide private investors with the opportunity to invest in early stage technology companies as they spin-out of the University, while supplying additional finance to ensure that companies are properly resourced for the initial stages of commercial product development.

The Fund will seek to invest with the tax reliefs of the EIS and SEIS, where applicable.

The University of Cambridge Enterprise Funds have been an important new source of funding for our young companies, and are a great new way for Cambridge alumni and friends to support the University. Parkwalk has been a valued partner since the launch of these funds, and has played a huge role in their success.
