We partner with innovative entrepreneurs to provide strategic capital, support, mentorship and other resources to transform promising ideas into transformative businesses. Elevate Ventures is dedicated to guiding visionaries through every stage of their entrepreneurial journey for sustainable growth and success.
Fueling Founders
We believe Indiana is the Innovation Capital of the World™. We are not just investors. We are former founders ourselves. Elevate Ventures is on a mission to empower entrepreneurs through investment and collaboration. There’s a world of opportunity out there, and we love helping innovation-driven founders reach it. We turn sparks into high-octane rocket fuel to help take our portfolio companies—and our state—to the next level. We didn’t start the fire. But we sure are fueling it.
Illuminating Strategic Opportunities
We have deep relationships with a vast network of investors, and we happily share deal flow with them. It’s all possible thanks to our collaborative DNA rooted in entrepreneurship experience and deep desire for you to be successful. With your permission, we syndicate investments and share due diligence with our network of co-investors.
"We are not merely passive spectators of the future, we are active architects shaping it!"
