    Description:

    Duke Capital Partners leverages the power of the Duke network to support the university's entrepreneurial ecosystem. The firm's average initial investment ranges from $500K-$2M and we invest in early-stage rounds. The group's 40+ portfolio companies have raised over $900M with a total enterprise value of over $4B. Prospective companies must have a founder, executive, board member, or major investor who is a current or former Duke student, employee, or parent; and the startup must be raising capital of $1M or more or syndicating later-stage equity financing with an existing or new institutional lead investor.
