Investing in Harvard founders at the earliest stages
Phoenix is a venture capital firm backing Harvard's top founders at the earliest stages, from angel to seed. We aim to be the first call for Harvard founders building a startup and leverage the collective power of the Harvard community to provide an unfair advantage.
A firm backing Harvard founders
Our mission is to back the next generation of iconic Harvard-founded startups from the earliest stages and leverage the collective power of the Harvard community to provide an unfair advantage to founders.
We collaborate with leading VC firms to invest in top Harvard founders at the angel, pre-seed, and seed stages. We are sector and geography agnostic, looking to back Harvard's top founders in whatever field they are experts in, but lean in where Harvard has historically excelled: FinTech, HealthTech, AI, and B2B.
The Phoenix community is comprised of hundreds of alumni, founders, and investors passionate about supporting the next generation. We host events, treks, and gatherings across the world to build community among Harvard's technology ecosystem.
