Honors Fund is a venture capital fund backed by CEAS Investments that has deployed over $400M into American startups since 2014, specializing in investments in first-time founders, students, and underrepresented entrepreneurs. The majority-female team has achieved top-decile returns by focusing on underestimated founders often overlooked by traditional investors. Funded by a single family office committed to education and emerging entrepreneurs, Honors Fund combines strategic capital deployment with a mission to support diverse, early-stage founders.

Honors Fund is part of CEAS Investments, where we’ve invested over $400M into American startups since 2014. Our majority-female team has generated top-decile returns while investing primarily in first-time founders. We’re an unusual fund: all our money comes from one family office that loves supporting education and first-time founders. We love underestimated founders: first-timers, students, and under-represented groups. And other investors’ mistake in underestimating them is why Honors Fund outperforms. Honors fund will begin relationships with 100 university startups in the next few years — starting with $250k each and growing along with their ventures.
