Xfund is a pioneering partnership between some of the country’s most successful venture capital firms and some of the world’s best research universities in the United States and abroad. Xfund was co-founded in 2014 and co-managed by Patrick Chung and Hugo Van Vuuren. Xfund is now co-managed by Patrick Chung and Brandon Farwell, two friends and partners who have worked together for over a decade, alongside our extended investment and university teams.
Whether you’re a student, faculty member, staff, alum — or perhaps you’re entirely self-taught — so long as you have a curious mind and an ability to execute, we’re interested.
