Rough Draft Ventures

Rough Draft Ventures is a student-powered venture investing program associated with General Catalyst that backs university-affiliated founders at very early stages. The organization focuses broadly on technology startups rather than operating as a drug developer, biopharma company, or healthcare services provider. It provides small initial investments, typically through founder-friendly SAFE structures, along with access to a student fellow network, mentorship, and the broader General Catalyst ecosystem. Rough Draft Ventures appears to function primarily as an early-stage investor and talent network for student entrepreneurs across the United States.
