Over the past five years, I have watched Strawberry Creek (and Alumni Ventures more generally) carve out a unique and valuable place inside the venture ecosystem. I'm very much looking forward to the next five.
The opportunity at Strawberry Creek Ventures is certainly unique. Their ability to tap the Berkeley alumni network and co-invest with top-tier venture funds with a diversified strategy is truly innovative. We’re excited to be investing in world changing companies led by Cal alums.
Strawberry Creek is uniquely positioned to identify and gain access to the best entrepreneurs coming out of UC Berkeley. Together, we ended up creating allocation for FreeWire's oversubscribed round. It was an incredible success. I highly recommend Strawberry Creek and the AV family of funds to both entrepreneurs and investors alike.
