Ready to invest while making a difference?
StartUpNV is a non-profit organization, but the venture funds we facilitate are very much for-profit. We’re committed to attracting and raising venture capital in Nevada, educating and reducing barriers to becoming an investor, and making informed investments in the next big disruptors.
Angel Investing
The right investors and mentors can make all the difference in a startup’s success, and being an early investor in the right companies can provide the greatest returns. Part of StartUpNV’s mission is to educate individuals on what it takes to be a good angel investor and how to make smart, successful investments.
Venture Funds
Our investment committees consist of exited founders, long-time angel investors and seasoned venture capitalists, and our unique model allows our venture team to spend months to years getting to know founders and their businesses before investing. We have multiple venture funds that cater to different types of investors and their goals.
