The University Connection:

Dedicated to Collaboration

RightHill Ventures is the latest evolution of a long, fruitful collaboration between the Slater Technology Fund and its university and research institution partners, especially Brown University, the University of Rhode Island (URI), and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC).

Over more than two decades of translational work at these institutions we have mentored student and faculty entrepreneurs and led and sourced investment in their companies to open new avenues of engagement with the broader innovation ecosystem.
