The University Technology
Seed Fund (UTSF) is a $6.5M venture fund
organized in 2002 by Trillium Group and
the University of Rochester. Its limited
partners include accredited investors, educational
institutions, corporations, trusts, and
others in the community. The mission of
the fund is to support economic development
in the Rochester region while generating
substantial long-term capital gains for
all stake holders.
Because of the many uncertainties
and high risks inherent in very early stage
investing, few venture funds make seed investments,
particularly in this region. Yet at Trillium,
we recognize that a tremendous research
and technology base exists in Upstate N.Y.
UTSF enables Trillium to tap into this technology
base and accelerate new business creation.
We help identify promising concept and seed-stage
companies in our region which offer high
potential for commercial success. We then
provide the critical services and financing
necessary to launch these companies and
transform them into investable and self-sustaining
businesses.
