About

Brown Venture Group, LLC is a venture capital firm that invests in undervalued companies using leading-edge technologies.

Investment approach

Thesis
Founded in 2018 in Minneapolis, MN, Brown Venture Group (BVG) is a Black and Indigenous-owned firm exclusively for the overlooked and undervalued market investment segmentation within technology startups. BVG provides technology under resourced founders an environment from which they can launch and scale their startup, including capital, training, and networks. We believe that technology entrepreneurship can bypass many of the cognitive and racial biases that have historically prevented greater economic flourishing for all. Moreover, generation after generation of adversity has made under estimated entrepreneurs particularly resilient. This resilience, combined with the fact that investment in under estimated and under resourced entrepreneurs has been almost non-existent, represents the best un-activated market for technology-focused venture capital.Source (opens in a new tab)
