As an alumnus of a top university, you might be invited to return to campus for Homecoming Weekend, donate money to a scholarship fund, or interview prospective students for the admissions department.
And now, you might also be asked to put $50,000 or $100,000 into a venture capital fund that will invest in companies founded by fellow alums. Alumni Ventures Group, a Manchester, N.H. company founded in 2014, runs more than a dozen funds with names like The Yard Ventures (Harvard), Green D Ventures (Dartmouth), and Castor Ventures (MIT).
