We look at a variety of considerations when evaluating a direct investment into a startup company. This process has been refined over two decades and takes advantage of our founding team’s collective experience, personal and professional networks, and business acumen. Key characteristics of attractive direct investments for NVNG include, but are not limited to the following:
Direct investment opportunities offered to us by venture capital firms in which NVNG Fund I, LP has an existing commitment.
Direct investments shall be made to generate attractive returns while also attempting to support local innovation.
Direct Investments shall be diversified as well as provide strategic introductions to our investor base.
Direct investment activity shall be targeted towards Wisconsin-based startups but may also include industry-aligned companies which operate in more capital constrained environments.
