Crescent Fund 🌙

​Despite the highest concentration of both top engineering schools and liberal arts colleges in the world, access to capital for emerging university startups remains criminally underdeveloped and fragmented in Southern California.

​Crescent is a micro-vc built to back student/alumni founders from SoCal universities at the earliest stages. Our team spans 10+ universities across Southern California. If there is a startup on our campus or beyond, we'll know about it. And you can too — see you at LA Tech Week!
