The Dorm Room Fund 5 Year Report 🎊

👉 5years.drf.vc

We're proud to announce a new, over-subscribed $50M fund.

Fourteen years ago, betting on students sounded a little crazy. We never thought so, and we’re still at it.

Thank you @eringriffith for telling our story in today’s @nytimes.

Representation in VC can't stop at the portfolio: it's also about who's behind the table. A diverse partnership leads to more investments in diverse founders... which is why we are thrilled to announce the official launch of Prism: an investor track for LGBTQ+ students

Inspired by our friends @firstround, we're proud to present @DormRoomFund's State of Student Startups 2019, our first-ever analysis of the 700+ applications we received last year. 👩‍🎓🚀📊

More black & brown faces at a partner table mean more opportunities for founders that look like them. Announcing Blueprint Investor Track, a 6-week remote masterclass for aspiring Black, Latinx & Indigenous student investors. Apply by 5/27! Details here: blueprint.dormroomfund.com

We are heartbroken at the events of this week and stand with the Black community— and with the members of our community that are profoundly affected by systemic racism.

We could not be more excited to introduce our newest 33 investment partners to Dorm Room Fund.

DRF had a sub 3% acceptance rate this year (!) and this group is no doubt going to take the community by storm.

Recently, we switched our investment terms over to a SAFE (made famous by @ycombinator).

Given that investment terms can be a headache for first-time founders, our JD-MBA partner @joshephraim wrote up a complete guide to SAFEs 👇
