The Story

There’s a new fund ready to put some green behind Clemson orange.

Fund That Tiger, a Clemson, SC-based venture capital fund, is set to invest exclusively into Clemson University alumni-led startups and university-born technologies.

The fund is targeting to close at $10 million, with LPs made up of a mix of “high-net-worth individuals and families with an affinity for the school,” founder Matt Johnson told Hypepotamus.
