Blue Ivy Ventures is the Yale alumni venture fund managed by Alumni Ventures, America's largest venture capital firm for individual investors. The fund offers accredited Yale alumni access to a diversified portfolio of 20–30 investments per year, co-investing alongside leading VC firms such as Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia, and Y Combinator across all stages from pre-seed through growth. Alumni Ventures operates as a strict co-investor, writing checks of $100K–$10M (typically $1M–$3M) after a lead VC is secured, without taking board seats or setting terms. The platform leverages an 850,000-member community to provide portfolio companies with talent pipelines, network introductions, and follow-on capital support.
