A Unique Angel Investment Fund

Business Plans for Angel Investors
Business Plans for Venture Capital

If your New Year’s resolution includes starting your own business, then you might want to consider a call to Nittany Lion Venture Capital.

The organization is a group of MBA students from the Smeal College of Business, who each semester offer assistance to business startups.

As part of the course, the students look at entrepreneurs and their business model and consider whether or not to invest in the startup.

The group is looking for five or six startup companies that

are seeking seed capital financing. Financing for the companies would come from the $5 million Garber Venture Capital Fund, established in 1999 and used within the Smeal MBA courses for students to experience venture capital investment.

The fund is invested in several local firms, including Diamondback Truck Covers, Go2Athlete, and Indigo Biosciences.

Interested entrepreneurs should contact Anthony Warren, director of Smeal’s Farrell Center at twarren@psu.edu or 865-4593.
