Driving entrepreneurial innovation and growth in NYS

About us

New York Ventures, a division of Empire State Development, is an early-stage venture capital fund that invests in high growth start-up companies that are led by diverse entrepreneurial teams, across all regions of New York State. We administer the state’s innovation investment funds by partnering with entrepreneurs to build the future of New York, prioritizing companies that solve important challenges in the areas of climate change, agriculture, healthcare, education, information sciences and other emerging technologies. More than 43% of the 25 companies in our current portfolio are women or minority-founded businesses. We’ve also launched three fund-of-funds through a program responsible for investments in an additional 140 emerging-growth startups in New York State. We co-invest with a wide variety of large and small funds to leverage NYS dollars for the benefit of all New Yorkers resulting in successes across a range of companies and industries—from Plated and Rgenix to Spincar and Agronomic.
