Our Mission

The GNVCA’s mission is to facilitate capital connections that unlock investment opportunities so our most innovative entrepreneurs can build successful companies that create jobs and contribute to our region’s growth.

Why Middle TN?

Nashville’s venture capital community is growing rapidly, in part due to an influx of new investors moving to the region from more established financial centers such as California, New England and New York. This dynamic – coupled with our established venture capital community, status as a premier healthcare city, the arrival of major technology companies and a friendly business climate – make Middle Tennessee ripe for venture investment.
