<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Starting an investment fund led by students will give students to identify and student startups within the community. Having an investment fund run by and for students will provide capital for student-led startups and allow access to the mentoring of local entrepreneurs. This will also expose students to the Portland startup community. Raising capital while you’re still attending school is very difficult, and has the potential to deter students from pursuing their ventures. Therefore, a student-led investment fund has the potential to be a valuable program at the University of Portland.</span></span>
