What Is Green D Ventures?

  • 20k alumni followers
  • The only fund of its kind for Dartmouth alumni
  • Private, for-profit, and not officially sanctioned by the College

 

Follow the Fund

“Investing with Green D has allowed us to easily add an asset class to our portfolio that was previously off limits. We appreciate the benefit of following the investments of well-known venture firms while gaining insight into Green D’s due diligence process and supporting the Dartmouth community.”

Hillary Brown T'06

“We invested in the Green D Fund because we were looking to diversify our portfolio and felt confident that Green D would allow access to quality investment opportunities. While we were initially attracted by the connection to Dartmouth, we ultimately chose the Green D Fund because of it’s varied investments, access to an extensive community of entrepreneurs, and impressive management team.“

Benefits of Venture Investing

Your chance to invest like an insider in game-changing innovation.

“As a member of one of the earliest classes of women at Dartmouth, I want to serve as a role model for younger Dartmouth alumnae. Just like more women belong at Dartmouth, more women belong in and can be venture investors. In addition, I believe investing in Green D Ventures helps to strengthen the entire Dartmouth community.”

Susan Funk D'81

“Given my love of Dartmouth and the Dartmouth community, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to invest in Green D Ventures. It is wonderful to be able to support Dartmouth entrepreneurs while benefiting from great investments.”
