Founded in 2013, utilizing a founding gift from Jeff Moskow of $500,000, the Rebel Venture Fund (RVF) provides experiential learning opportunities for UNLV students. RVF is UNLV's venture capital (VC) fund that makes equity investments in private high-growth companies throughout Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. The fund invests in startups at every stage (including early stage companies looking for seed funding, or late stage opportunities in which the RVF will look to co-invest with institutional investors) and provides knowledge, resources, and support to the growing tech and small business community here in Nevada. Unlike other university VC funds, the RVF is entirely student led and run. Students work closely with entrepreneurs and leaders in the business community to conduct screenings, due diligence, investments, negotiations, and close deals. The Rebel Venture Fund will typically make investments of between $10,000 and $50,000, although larger investments may also be considered.
