Establishing relationships with top-tier venture capital partners, angel groups and accelerators.

The Cougar Venture Fund (CVF) is the early stage venture capital fund of the University of Houston’s Bauer College of Business. Through this fund, MBA students enrolled on Bauer’s Venture Capital Investment course gain knowledge and experience in how to analyze and invest in early stage technology companies. During this process, the students work with an advisory board of entrepreneurs, angel investors, and venture capitalists.

CVF has established relationships with top-tier venture capital partners, angel groups, and accelerators in order to help our portfolio companies gain access to the resources necessary to achieve their strategic and operational goals.
