Underscore VC calls Boston home for a reason. Boston has unparalleled talent, world-class research institutions, and homegrown leading tech companies that fuel the next generation of founders. Our deep roots in the academic ecosystem and local community have meaningfully plugged our team into one of the best places to launch a company in the world.
Underscore is embedded in the Boston academic community, serving as a limited partner in Dorm Room Fund, the Harvard Innovation Labs’ Allston Venture Fund, and MIT’s The Engine and Sandbox funds. These commitments, along with regularly giving lectures and holding office hours for students, give Underscore early access to some of the most gifted entrepreneurs that emerge from these programs. As a result, around a third of Underscore’s investments are sourced through this talented academic community.
