The Halperin Emerging Company Fund has been founded to give DePaul the capital to make equity investments in startups founded by DePaul students and alumni as well as community members. Overseen by the Coleman Entrepreneurship Center, the fund will focus on investing in ventures that show potential for growth and job creation. The initiative was founded with a generous gift from the late Errol R. Halperin (BUS ’64, JD ’67) and his wife, Libby Halperin.
