We are proud to announce the launch of the first ever Intercollegiate Crypto Fund!
Our goal with the BEN Crypto Fund is to empower our members to showcase their Fundamental &#x26; Technical prowess without the need for them to put up any capital risk.
Initially, to garner interest, we created a BEN Crypto Fund Committee to gauge the sentiment on who/whom would be intrigued to act as the Fund’s Lead Analyst(s). As a result, we created a relatively simple application in which committee members had to submit a thorough methodology thesis that had to answer the following:
<ul>
<li>Strategy Memo- Token Inclusion Criteria- Associated Fees- Maintenance Threshold(s)- Qualifications/Experience- Suggested Platform to Launch
In turn, we received a flood of proficient applicants who delivered innovative Fund strategies from both ends of the risk spectrum.</li>
</ul>
Ultimately, we selected 4 well-versed Fund Analysts representing Rutgers University, Chapman University, Boston College, and Wilfred Laurier University!
We have equipped our Fund Analysts with Messari Premium accounts to further assist them in creating comprehensive and in-depth analyses for their proposals.
Our Fund Analyst application is open on a rolling basis, so please feel free to check it out <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1syjhX-yNATNMG0jO2KFXB-pBif5eatDY6VePWQLqkZM/edit?usp=sharing">here</a>.

The goal with $BENMO is to provide our student-analysts the opportunity to design and execute a sound crypto fund with a diverse range of #DeFi assets.
As the BEN Crypto Fund continues to expand, we’re looking to deliver more products of this nature while also enabling our student-analysts to challenge the status quo.
With this in mind, we encourage hedge fund managers and its ilk to reach out if you are interested in becoming partners or mentors for our student-analysts.
