About

VGV is a “micro” venture capital investment fund created to generate strong financial returns by supporting high-growth technology companies across the state of Ohio, but with an emphasis on the Mahoning Valley.

Investment approach

Thesis
We invest across the technology spectrum, with an emphasis on the software, IT, healthcare, energy, additive manufacturing, and advanced materials sectors. The fund seeks opportunities with strong management teams, large and growing markets, and that solve a real pain point (a “must have” product or service). Our primary focus is to invest at the seed stage.Source (opens in a new tab)
Eligibility
The fund focuses on companies in Ohio, with a preference for Northeast Ohio, particularly the Mahoning Valley.
Investing status notes
We are currently investing out of our initial fund.
