TESTIMONIALS

The John W. Altman Institute for Entrepreneurship has collaborated with 1809 Capital from inception as part of the Institute's continuing efforts to help catalyze Miami University's powerful network of founders and angel, venture capital, growth and private equity investors. The 1809 team has executed a compelling venture capital investment strategy while engaging the expansive Miami alumni network of entrepreneurs/founders, VCs, and executives. We look forward to growing the partnership as 1809 Capital continues to build a sustainable platform to support Miami's perennial Top 10 undergraduate entrepreneurship program.
