The Frankel Commercialization Fund

The Frankel Commercialization Fund (FCF) is a “pre-seed” investment fund made possible thanks to the support of Stanley Frankel, whose overarching vision is to leverage the Stephen M. Ross School of Business talent and resources to help increase the number of successful commercial ventures coming out of the University of Michigan.


The goals of the FCF are to:

  • Accelerate the commercialization of research and ideas generated within the University community.
  • Create a financially self-sustainable process of research commercialization, by which successful past investments will provide the funds needed to make new ones.
  • Provide a stimulating, hands-on educational experience for students, thus reinforcing the Ross School of Business’ commitment to action-based learning.
  • Build excitement within the University community about the prospects of research commercialization.

The Fund is made up of Ross MBA students (“Frankel Fellows”) selected because of their domain knowledge of the health care or technology industries and their experience and interest in early-stage company formation. The Frankel Fellows are divided into two teams, one specializing in health care investments and the other on technology investments.
