Please note that we have a new site: LifeScienceHistory.com, "Where history is made daily" under development and
delayed by COVID-19, to be launched in 2023 replacing WashingtonLifeScience.com. Regrettably, we are working with reduced
staffing and the current industry directory is no longer being maintained, but will be replaced with a new and improved
directory upon the launch of the new site. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The W Fund
| | | Phone: | (877) 753-7997 | Fax: | 206-543-0586 | Year Established: | 2012 | Main Contact: | Linden Rhoads, General Manager | | Company Description | The W Fund is an early-stage venture fund that aims to invest approximately $20 million over the next four years in promising start-ups spinning out of the University of Washington and other research institutions across the state. The Fund demonstrates the commitment of the region’s business leaders and investment community to leverage Washington’s research strength to drive the state’s innovation economy by spurring the creation of jobs and tax revenue, and attracting investment capital into Washington.
Access to earliest-stage capital is a gate to compelling opportunities. The W Fund will help the most promising research and student-generated start-ups clear that hurdle, gain traction more quickly, and reach venture-fundable milestones. The spin out of many more companies from these institutions will provide prospects for investors, grow the Washington State economy, create good jobs, increase the tax base, and attract new investment capital into the state. | |
