Aalto University

What they do

Aalto University is all about cross-disciplinary projects and learning in practice. Students are encouraged and supported to excel both in their studies and their future careers. Many of them have a vast work experience already when they graduate. Aalto University offers you the freedom to succeed in your academic career. They inspire students to take part in reaching the common goal of building a better world.

What they look for

Aalto aims to commercialize research breakthroughs by spinning them out into standalone companies. They believe that transferring IP ownership to a startup in exchange for equity (rather than royalties) better aligns incentives for future investors and founders. The endowment seeks to generate steady, long-term funding for the university's academic operations, employing a diversified strategy across global equities, fixed income, and alternative investments.
