Harvard MBA-Focused VC Fund Delivers Strong Returns in Two Years

Meridian Ventures, launched by two Harvard MBAs with $35 million, invests exclusively in entrepreneurs from elite business schools. The firm has backed 45 companies in two years, including Cast AI and OneImaging, now each valued above $250 million. Early returns suggest the strategy outperforms traditional venture benchmarks, raising questions about whether founder pedigree genuinely predicts better outcomes or reflects existing advantages.
