Old College Capital (OCC) is the University of Edinburgh’s in-house venture investment fund. We aim to support the University’s research, staff and students by investing in high-growth, early-stage businesses associated with the University.
The University has limited funds available to invest in high growth companies associated with the University. The primary vehicle for investing on this basis is Old College Capital (OCC).
When funding permits, the University can sometimes invest outside of the remit of Old College Capital. When opportunities for such funding are open we will highlight them on this page.
Benefits of working with OCC
OCC follows a co-investment model, partnering with experienced
private sector investors to leverage the greatest support for companies
within the University of Edinburgh ecosystem. We recognise the breadth
of talent in this ecosystem and invest in early-stage companies from any
field.
