University of Michigan's Wolverine Venture Fund Participates in $25 Million Series D Investment in Sonitus Medical
Date:5/31/2012

the Frankel and Social Venture Funds, serves as a shining example of the Institute's action-based approach to entrepreneurial education. Since its inception, the Wolverine Venture Fund has invested in more than 20 companies in a wide range of innovative industries such as information technology, life sciences and alternative energy. A team of six students, representing both MBAs and Ph.D.s, spearheaded the investment in Sonitus Medical, including conducting all necessary due diligence, negotiation and collaboration with other investors.

"We are pleased to again invest in a company that is changing people's lives by giving them the joy of hearing," said Erik Gordon, associate director of the Zell Lurie Institute and managing director of the Wolverine Venture Fund. "This round has also been a tremendous experience for the students who oversaw the process. They were not only able to see the rapid progression of a portfolio company in the past year and participate in its latest financing, but they also got to collaborate on the deal with some very good, well-established venture capital firms from around the world."

Commenting on the experience Wolverine Venture Fund member and joint M.D./Ph.D. student Nicholas Douville said, "We were given a seat at the table with experienced investors representing firms here in Michigan, from the coasts and overseas, and invested real money that is going to make a meaningful difference for  the company and those with hearing loss and single-sided deafness. Being a part of the Wolverine Venture Fund's second investment in Sonitus Medical was truly an invaluable experience and one that simply can't be matched in a classroom setting."
