Venture Capital Investment

Seed investment and support for Massachusetts-based deep tech startups

 

MassVentures invests in academic spinouts and early-stage deep tech companies based in Massachusetts. Deep tech innovates scientific and engineering breakthroughs that address big societal challenges, often creating new markets or disrupting existing ones, and have the vast potential to fuel Massachusetts' innovation economy.

We look for innovative technologies which support the economic growth initiatives of the Commonwealth and place an emphasis on diverse founding teams and geographies.

With a focus on venture development, we provide funding and guidance to academic spinouts and early-stage companies to help them get traction, build their MVP, find early customers, accelerate GTM strategy, expand sales and bring on key staff.
