OUP (Osage University Partners)

We are a venture capital fund supporting the transition of academic discoveries into commercial ventures.

We invest in university startups in partnership with the top research universities in the world including MIT, Stanford, Caltech, Harvard, Columbia, Penn, Michigan, UCLA, UCSF, Yale, and many others. Based on ground-breaking discoveries developed from years of university research, these companies apply novel, proprietary technologies to some of the world’s largest challenges in healthcare, technology, and the environment. Our partner universities assign their investment rights in their spin-outs to OUP in exchange for a share of the fund’s profit.
