Former Raven helps create venture capital fund for Towson startups

A trio of executives — including a former Baltimore Ravens player — are teaming up to build a venture capital fund with a business model tailor-made for an era when capital is harder and harder to find. The Tiger Fund is the creation of former Ravens player and Super Bowl champion Kyle Richardson, Patrick McQuown, Towson University’s executive director of entrepreneurship, and venture capitalist Alfred Ko of the StepStone Group, a fund with $139 billion of assets under management. The group plans to raise at least $2 million through institutional and retail investors before investing any money.
