Battle Born Venture

Battle Born Venture is Nevada's state venture capital program, overseen by the Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED). It functions as a state-sponsored fund of funds that invests in other venture capital funds, which in turn invest in Nevada-based companies. The program also makes direct co-investments into early-stage, high-growth companies in Nevada alongside venture capital partners. The program is managed by an external firm, InNEVenture. It was initially funded through the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) in 2011 and received a second allocation of funding from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
