The heat and waves aren’t the only things making headlines in San Diego this summer. A group of student entrepreneurs from UC San Diego and CSU Northridge are making their own waves with the formation of a
$25 million fund
to invest in both public and private companies.
Triton Funds
, whose advisory board includes alumni and faculty, is primarily focused on education for current students with a millennial outlook on technology and finance. Operating under the slogan “Millennial Touch,” Triton has invested in San Diego-based airport food-delivery startup
AtYourGate
, as well as cybersecurity company Bravatek Solutions and blockchain-based company DigitalTown Inc.
Triton recently received
press
for the group’s interest in struggling MoviePass. Keep an eye on this savvy student-run investment fund including its
weekly stock pick
, as this group is hot.
Cheers!
