For investors

Allocate alongside the domain-specific experts

We invest when operators who already know the space lean in. We surface that signal so you can decide per deal – across stages and sectors.

How allocation works

1
Deal by deal
Each opportunity is its own allocation. You see the company, the experts who engaged, and the investors already committed before you choose to participate.
2
What you receive.
A detailed investment memo and a clear view of who is in and why. Enough to form your own view, not so much that the work is done for you.
3
Sized for a real portfolio.
Minimums per SPV are deliberately small ($1000) so accredited investors can build exposure across many companies, sectors, and stages over time.
4
Industry and stage agnostic
We do not have a sector thesis or stage thesis. The one constant is that the founder or company leader is Cornell-affiliated.
5
Your decision, every time
Each investor in the network decides per deal. We do not pool capital, and nothing on this site is a recommendation to invest in any specific company.
6
Accredited investors only
Investments through Red Bear Ventures are private placements under U.S. securities law and are open only to verified accredited investors. AngelList verifies status before allocation.
