About This Opportunity
Venture Capital | Empire State Development Skip to main content --> New York Ventures New York State's Venture Capital Arm Investing in diverse entrepreneurs, fund managers, and accelerators to fuel New York’s innovation ecosystem New York Ventures supports high-growth companies and their partners to use technology to solve important challenges in areas of strategic interest and importance. We actively look to provide greater access to venture capital for regions, industries and individuals, including women and minority entrepreneurs and fund managers. Our goal is to build a robust startup ecosystem across New York State, leveraging public and private sector assets. New York Ventures is actively deploying over $300 million of capital through equity programs for both direct and indirect investment. In 2022, New York was awarded funds via the U.S. Department of Treasury State Small Business Credit Initiative , which helps us to support our several programs. How Venture Capital Powers New York Venture capital helps turn bold ideas into companies while creating jobs, generating wealth, driving innovation, and strengthening local economies across the state. When we invest in entrepreneurs and fund managers, we’re investing in the future of our communities. The next life-saving medical device, green energy company, or AI-powered educational platform could start here in New York with the right access to capital. NY Venture helps make that happen, and that means more opportunity, better services, and a stronger economy for everyone.
