Case Study: University Growth Fund streamlines hiring with Trakstar Hire

University Growth Fund - Customer Case Study

University Growth Fund, an education-based growth equity fund in Salt Lake City, needed a better way to evaluate and recruit student talent for its competitive, student-run venture capital program. The team used Trakstar Hire to manage applications and support a rigorous selection process for candidates who would help source deals, conduct due diligence, and participate in investment decisions.

With Trakstar, University Growth Fund streamlined hiring for a process that can draw 100 to 150 applicants for just 10 to 15 spots, helping the firm identify passionate, smart candidates and place them into high-impact roles. The result has been strong talent outcomes, including 100% student placement into top jobs over the past decade and graduates earning 50% to 60% more than peers at graduation, while Trakstar continues to support the fund’s growth and recruiting efforts.
