CMU VentureBridge provides pre-seed funding and an accelerator for startups with at least one CMU-affiliated founder. It offers a 12-week summer program combining virtual and in-person activities, mentorship from experienced founders, and access to a venture network. Each accepted company receives a $25,000 grant from the university, supported by foundations, plus coworking spaces in tech hubs. The program culminates in a Demo Day to pitch to investors, and alumni have raised over $210 million in follow-on funding since 2018.
