Battle Born Venture is Nevada's state venture capital program, created in 2013 by the Governor's Office of Economic Development to help entrepreneurs stay local when fundraising. The firm has invested in high-potential Nevada startups, co-invested with prestigious VCs, and celebrated five exits.
Battle Born participates in deals from $200K to $20M total size, investing up to $1M per company (max $500K first round). The firm co-invests with professional investors including VC firms, corporate VC arms, and incorporated angel funds — never leading rounds.
As a sector-agnostic state program (excluding gambling, alcohol, cannabis, and firearms), Battle Born Venture has become a cornerstone of Nevada's startup ecosystem, providing matching capital alongside private investors to de-risk early-stage investment.
