Overview
What Twenty25 Ventures offers
What Twenty25 Ventures is
Twenty25 Ventures is an HBS Class of 2025 alumni fund created to invest in founders from the graduating class. Founded by seven Harvard Business School students, the fund raises capital from HBS Class of 2025 graduates to provide venture capital to class members over a 10-year horizon. The fund operates under an 'automatic investment' model, investing in any qualifying company that meets its defined criteria, thereby reducing founder friction and selection bias.

Twenty25 Ventures challenges traditional VC assumptions by funding all qualified applicants rather than selecting through competitive pitch processes. It tests whether institutional validation from other investors is a sufficient quality signal and whether broad-based HBS alumni capital improves founder outcomes.
