Dorm Room Fund is a $10 million American venture capital firm focused on investments in student-run startups.[1][2] Established by First Round Capital in 2012, the firm is operated by full-time undergraduate and graduate students.[3][4] It has backed companies that have raised a combined $300 million in venture capital from investors including Y Combinator, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Union Square Ventures.[5] With investments in over 100 companies,[citation needed] the firm is one of the most active seed-stage investors in the US.[6] The firm has teams in San Francisco, New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston.
In addition to providing early-stage capital,[7] Dorm Room Fund draws upon its own resources as well as First round's to support student entrepreneurs.[8] In January 2018, Dorm Room Fund's Head of Engineering Yasyf Mohamedali launched VCWiz, a tool to help founders (student or otherwise) research, discover, and reach out to seed-stage investors.[9] In February 2018, Snap Inc. announced a program to provide free advertising on Snapchat to select up-and-coming startups, targeting Dorm Room Fund portfolio companies in particular.[10]
