NVNG +Venture North 2025

Last week's +Venture North in Milwaukee offered concrete advice for founders raising capital:

Match capital to risk. Your primary business risk should align with your investor's expectations and timeline.

Revenue drives interest. Investors want proof of commercialization. Creative structures—like fleet-as-a-service financing—can help you get there.

Clarify corporate partnerships upfront. Understand their goals, timelines, and whether buying cycle access is included.

These challenges are why Valency Fund provides Wisconsin companies with capital structures that fit their growth stage and business model.
