MHT managing editor Rodney Brown on NECN: 22 tech companies give back to community
North Bridge Venture Partners co-founder Richard D’Amore has donated $5 million to Northeastern University, according to the school.
The money will be used to establish the Anthony and Mary D’Amore Interdisciplinary Innovation Fund, named after the donor’s parents. D’Amore intends the gift to be used to fund innovations that drive economic growth and create jobs, and the fund is planned to promote entrepreneurial research activities that take place at the intersection of academic disciplines.
D’Amore also gave to the university in 1988, when he and Alan McKim established the McKim-D’Amore Distinguished Professorship of Global Management and Innovation. The venture capitalist sits on the boards of Phase Forward Inc. and Veeco Investments Inc. D’Amore graduated from Northeastern in 1976.
