WE FUND WORLD-CHANGING TECHNOLOGIES PROUDLY BUILT IN IOWA.

In 2022, Iowa made a bold move: create a public venture capital fund to support homegrown innovation. Backed by federal SSBCI capital and launched in partnership with the Iowa Economic Development Authority and BioConnect Iowa, InnoVenture Iowa opened its doors that fall and began investing immediately.

Since then, we’ve backed more than 40 founders who are building category-defining companies across bioscience, ag-tech, advanced manufacturing, Saas and AI. Our role is simple: invest early, and help Iowa’s innovators go further, faster — strengthening industries, creating jobs, and shaping the state’s future economy.
