Origin Story

Elevate Ventures traces its origins back to 2011 when it was established by Governor Mitch Daniels through a spin out from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). What began as mostly grant writing to innovative companies has grown into a beacon of what is possible through public-private partnerships. Over the years, we have continued to evolve while remaining focused on fostering innovation and entrepreneurship across the state, the midwest and the nation.


To date
we have $245 million AUM and have invested over $189 million into over 600 startups and are committed to our vision of establishing Elevate Ventures as a leading venture capital firm. With accessible avenues to capital and ongoing post-investment support, our team is committed to guiding entrepreneurs through every stage of their journey toward sustainable growth and success.
