about us
InnoVenture Iowa Fund is the state’s first publicly-funded venture capital fund. The state of Iowa received $96 million in 2022 from the US Treasury as a part of the SSBCI funding made available to help states like ours rebuild our economies in the wake of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
It took countless hours and many dedicated, hard-working Iowans to bring InnoVenture Iowa to life. In concert with the Iowa Economic Development Authority and Bioconnect Iowa, InnoVenture Iowa was formally launched in October of 2022 and began making its first investments in November of that same year.
