The current venture capital funding landscape is severely limited in geographical scope. Startups in the top three states – California, Massachusetts, and New York – receive 70 percent of venture capital funding. This session will examine how non-traditional venture funds can play a role in expanding access to capital for entrepreneurs under-served by current VC models. Hear from fund managers in the states of Wisconsin, Ohio, and Texas on their models for investing in high-growth businesses within their respective geographies, and how their investments encourage follow-on investment from more traditional venture capital funds.
