infoAbout this deal

Dorm Room Fund (DRF) is a student-run venture fund backed by First Round Capital that exclusively invests in student-led startups. They provide pre-seed funding to teams where at least one founder is a current student or graduated within the last 6 months.

DRF has a network of student partners across major university campuses who source and evaluate deals. The application process includes an initial screening call, a deep-dive interview, and a final pitch to a regional investment committee. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis year-round.

DRF portfolio companies include notable startups like Rappi, Codeium, and many others that started as student projects.
