The mission of MassVentures is to support the innovation economy and the economic growth initiatives of the Commonwealth by transferring research and early stage innovations to viable businesses and jobs
We offer startups non-dilutive grants and loans and comprehensive business guidance to help them develop into businesses that can attract capital.
MV Capital: our deep tech venture funds, grant programs and revenue-based loans.
MV Accelerate: our technical assistance offerings, such as MassVX and the Massachusetts Association of Technology Transfer Offices (MATTO).
Why Deep Tech?
Deep tech has vast potential to fuel Massachusetts' innovation economy. Deep tech startups innovate scientific and engineering breakthroughs that address big societal challenges, often creating new markets or disrupting existing ones.
The deep tech sector includes, but is not limited to, advanced manufacturing, advanced materials, artificial intelligence, robotics, photonics, electronics, quantum computing, cleantech, medical devices, biotechnology, IoT, health security, and cyber security.
It's a sector that is often overlooked and typically underinvested at the seed stage...but it's brimming with opportunity.
The MassVentures team believes their job is to serve entrepreneurs. I've heard many times an investor say the words "let me know how I can help," but MassVentures shows me their team's commitment to helping entrepreneurs through actions (i.e. hosting educational events, helpful referrals, individual strategy meetings over coffee, etc.).

Founder and CEO, Prolific Works
The value for me is really our conversations. I've found MassVentures to offer solid guidance and a genuine interest in helping the company. I often call you first while I'm still formulating my thoughts because I know you won't judge me based on not appearing decisive, and know that you will be supportive.
