With $1 million of assets under management, Peachtree Minority Venture Fund (PMVF) is a student-run venture capital fund housed in The Roberto C. Goizueta Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School. Peachtree is the only student-run venture capital fund that focuses exclusively on making equity investments into underrepresented minority entrepreneurs (URM: Black, Latino(a), Native American). Students source companies, conduct due diligence, and make investment recommendations to the Peachtree Investment Committee which is made up of Goizueta Business School faculty, staff, and alumni. Peachtree was funded by the Goizueta Business School endowment and utilizes an “evergreen” structure, recycling all proceeds for reinvestment.
