Great story in UW News about Pack Ventures, a new venture capital fund that is collaborating with the University of Washington, and aims to help entrepreneurs launch new innovations and grow startups that emerge across the UW, while also giving Husky alumni access to investment opportunities. Pack VC is independently run and is building affinity to the UW, lowering the threshold to investing and leveraging the deep relationships with innovators who have a UW affiliation — spinouts from campus and alumni-founded companies. https://lnkd.in/grS8kAYu Ken Horenstein
