SSC Venture Partners is a venture capital fund made up of BC alums who love entrepreneurship and want to see BC alumni and students successfully launch their own companies. Since 2014, SSC Venture Partners has offered seed funding, a summer accelerator, office space, and mentorship to hundreds of startups with Boston College founders.SSC Venture Partners is uniquely positioned to help launch BC founder led ventures. With a general partnership made of seasoned entrepreneurs and investors, and an LP base of dozens of high net worth BC alumni investors, SSC Venture Partners can invest in promising startups and make connections to relevant mentors, investors and advisors.We invest in two stages of the value creation cycle:1. The first is our earliest stage funding mechanism in which we invest in a handful of young startups a year who participate in our summer accelerator program. The Summer Accelerator is an immersive twelve-week program in which the SSC offers a five thousand dollar investment, office space and mentorship with our connections and LP base in exchange for 2% equity.2. The second model is a more traditional seed and pre-seed investment in the form a convertible note for up to $50,000. We will invest alongside our LP base or other traditional angel or venture capital firms.In order to be a candidate for either mechanism of funding, one or more of a company's founders need to be BC alumni, students, staff, or faculty.
