Our Mission
Support the innovation economy and the economic growth initiatives of the Commonwealth by transferring research and early-stage innovations to viable businesses and jobs
Venture Development
More than a Venture Capital Firm
MassVentures is a venture development firm at its core with an emphasis on academic spinouts and building diverse teams that convert research and early-stage ideas into companies serving underserved areas in the Commonwealth.
By providing not only financial resources but also strategic direction, operational support, and access to a network of experts, MassVentures provides portfolio companies a greater chance of success.
We fill a critical gap in the state’s innovation ecosystem, providing venture capital, grants, and business advice to founders who often lack access to this support. We establish long-term relationships with these founders, aiding them on their journey from startup to growth company. Our investment and grant companies have leveraged over $3 billion in follow-on capital in the last 5 years and employ approximately 10,000 workers in Massachusetts.
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.
