Partners Play A Critical Role In Developing The Innovation Ecosystem

The Innovation Ecosystem

Building the Missing Half of the Innovation Ecosystem

The Startup Ecosystem = Well Developed

Much has been invested (money, time, effort) over the prior two decades to develop the startup ecosystem across geographies and industry verticals (i.e. startup accelerators, incubators, studios, etc.)

Investor Ecosystem = Need To Be Developed

Little has been done to develop the investor ecosystem to fuel the innovation engine (i.e. an ‘investor accelerator’ for VC investors, emerging fund managers, angel investors, family offices, etc.)

Core Ecosystem Problems

Low Quality Investors

The vast majority of VC investors are not professionally educated and/or trained in doing venture capital.

Low Quantity of Investors

Few local fund managers, angel investors, and family offices are deploying capital locally and globally.

Talent & Capital Export

Founders and capital leave due to a lack of local ‘Smart Capital’ with VC expertise and a strong network.

Venture University Provides The Missing Half Of The Innovation Ecosystem
