Empowering students to invest in the future of UK innovation.
Campus Capital is the United Kingdom's first on-campus venture capital fund that distinguishes itself by having active students participate alongside experienced professionals in investment decisions. The firm invests in early-stage UK-based companies with emphasis on scientific, creative, and technology-driven innovation.
Campus Capital aims to empower students by integrating them into the venture capital process, allowing them to leverage their networks and insights to identify and support innovative startups in the UK. The program focuses on fostering a new generation of venture capitalists who are equipped to evaluate and invest in groundbreaking technologies and creative industries.
Treat Academy registration as an initial community step, not confirmation of a Student VC place. The published role is subject to confidentiality requirements and restrictions on contracting, promoting investments, regulated activities, and providing business advice.
Candidates are selected from the active community of students at partnered universities.
Interested individuals must register for an account, complete their profile, participate in community groups, and build visibility to get noticed for opportunities.
Participants gain practical experience in evaluating early-stage companies, sourcing deals, and managing parts of the fund pipeline, alongside training as venture capital professionals.
An undated Academy testimonial attributed to Amy credits Campus Capital with helping her obtain a Coutts graduate role. This is an individual participant statement, not evidence of a measured placement rate or a guaranteed outcome.

Campus Capital describes it for PhD, MBA, and undergraduate students at leading UK universities, selecting from active members of its student community at partner universities.
No. Registration is described as entry to the community and a step toward consideration, not guaranteed Student VC admission. Campus Capital instructs prospective participants to complete a profile and take part in the community.
The company’s pitch page said its investment program was paused pending improved market conditions, but that statement does not establish that the educational Student VC Programme is closed or accepting participants.
