Backing the Next Wave of Campus-Born Ventures

 Linda Mar Ventures is an early-stage investment group based in Silicon Valley specializing in pre-seed and seed stage companies.

​

We back founders building out of overlooked university ecosystems, with a growing footprint spanning campuses across the country.

​

Founded by student-investors who personally navigated the campus-to-startup journey, we leverage a broad professional network to source and support high-potential ventures before institutional capital arrives.
