Who We Are
Established in 1997 with financial support from Procter & Gamble, RedHawk Ventures was one of the first student-led seed-stage venture capital funds in the country. Today, RedHawk Ventures stands as one of the few venture capital funds in the nation that is entirely run by undergraduate students and provides these students with the opportunity to invest in pre-seed and seed-stage startups across the Midwest, exposing them to the complexities of venture capital investing.
Fund members come from diverse backgrounds and majors but all share one common goal: maximize the value of every startup that enters the investment pipeline while empowering a fluid entrepreneurial ecosystem at Miami University. Through capital investments, consulting projects, and hands-on collaboration with founders, the RedHawk Ventures team works to achieve these goals.

Investment Teams
The sourcing and due diligence process for potential investments is conducted by students who have all completed one semester of New Member Education and completed an individual due diligence process for a start-up. Many of our analysts have already had hands-on experience with venture capital with companies that enter our pipeline as well as internships they’ve completed. In addition, our team is actively educating each other on current events in the world of Venture Capital and Business through General Body Meetings.
