The Allen Angel Capital Education (AACE) Program, also known as AACE Venture Fund, is a hands-on course at the University of Missouri Trulaske College of Business. AACE is a cross-disciplinary, student-managed angel investment fund open to both undergraduate and graduate students and all majors across the University of Missouri-Columbia. This course provides students the opportunity to learn about angel and venture capital investing through the first-hand experience of investing real money into high-growth Midwest start-up companies that are seeking funding. Students serve as Investment Analysts to the fund by cultivating deal flow, performing pre-screening duties, completing due diligence, structuring & negotiating investment contracts, and monitoring portfolio holdings to ultimately drive financial returns for the fund. This structure offers students a rare experiential learning opportunity as the fund functions as a real-life venture capital firm through participation in live venture deals. To date, AACE has invested ~$600k into 13 promising start-up companies and has realized a 6.2x MOIC on a partial exit of an investment.
