Entrepreneurs on college campuses got another boost Thursday with Boston-area Xfund closing a $100 million fund to bankroll new ideas and support startups it has backed so far.
The move comes just two months after the University of California Board of Regents approved the $250 million UC Ventures fund to target work done at campuses, medical centers and national laboratories. Well before that, Stanford University established its StartX accelerator and First Round Capital launched its Dorm Room Fund.
