About

Help educate the next generation of investors through hands-on experience in DU’s student-managed venture capital fund, the Pioneer Venture Group (PVG). The PVG provides seed funding for emerging startups in the Rocky Mountain region. PVG is dedicated to offering valuable experiential learning in investing, problem solving, and developing professional relationships. 

Every dollar raised will help grow the Pioneer Venture Group student investment fund. This additional capital will allow the students to enhance their hands-on learning experience by having the ability to build a more diverse and expansive investment portfolio.  You can support these amazing experiential opportunities and be part of launching a new company with your gift today.  Our goal is to collectively raise $10,000, which provides student managers in PVG enough seed funding to invest in one local startup.

Your generous contributions will become part of the Pioneer Venture Fund, the venture capital fund managed by students in the Pioneer Venture Group.  Members of the PVG participate in the full venture capital cycle including sourcing startups, listening to pitches, due diligence research, and more.  Your contribution will become part of the seed funding PVG invests in emerging companies throughout the Rocky Mountain region.  Each donation will help contribute to the overall growth of the fund and maximize the learning impact on our students. 

We deeply appreciate your willingness to support our students as they learn to be a venture capitalist. Your contribution not only helps us achieve our goals but also reinforces the Denver Difference. At DU, we are redefining the promise of higher education and preparing a new kind of leader and world citizen for what’s ahead. We are solving problems and creating new knowledge that directly improves the human condition. Because as a DU Difference-Maker, you can help change lives and shape the future.  

We invite you to be a part of this transformative journey. By making a gift today, you directly contribute to educating future investors and funding local entrepreneurs through the PVG. Your support is instrumental in helping us reach our goals and make a meaningful difference. Donate now and join us in shaping a brighter future for our student investors.
