Driving the Commercialization of University of Chicago Research
Building on University of Chicago’s breakthroughs
Harper Court Ventures invests in transformative technologies emerging from the University of Chicago—where world-class research fuels real-world ventures. We back pre-seed startups at the frontier of quantum computing, life sciences, energy, and AI—spun out of university labs, accelerated by the Polsky Center, or founded by University of Chicago alumni. Led by Chicago Booth alum, Karthee Madasamy and managed by MFV Partners, a leading Silicon Valley deep tech fund, we’re building a new engine of innovation for the Midwest—and beyond.
