We train the next generation of bold investors

Moso Capital is the University of Pennsylvania's premier experiential venture capital program. By mirroring an investment fund, we empower top undergraduates to gain hands-on investing experience while supporting our venture and angel investors in sourcing and conducting diligence on the most exciting startups.

We build thoughtful connections between bold founders and sharp investors, acting as a trusted first touchpoint and long-term partner in the venture process.

At Moso, relationships come first.

A partnership with Moso isn’t just a short-term project — it’s a lasting commitment to the founders we believe in and the investors we work alongside to bring their visions to life.

Who are the investors Moso partners with?
