About Kampus.vc

Kampus.vc is an Applied AI Venture Studio that partners with premier engineering universities and higher education institutions. We bridge the gap between academic innovation and commercial scale by building, incubating, and funding venture-backed, AI-native student startups alongside global CXOs, operators, and cross-border investors.

We are scaling our university partnership footprint across major academic hubs. As a Strategic Partnerships & Growth Associate, you will work directly with senior leadership to spearhead our institutional pipeline.

This is not a traditional cold-calling role. You will act as an institutional evangelist—identifying top universities, analyzing regional academic ecosystems, articulating high-value narratives to Deans and Directors, and securing high-stakes partnership meetings.
