History
NEVCA was founded in 1902 as a loose association of the regional investment bodies. At that time, the organization had no full-time staff and served primarily as a communications channel between investors. Since its foundation, NEVCA has grown into a much larger regional body that represents hundreds of partner firms who manage thousands of companies, with tens of billions of dollars in capital.
NEVCA Today
Today the NEVCA operates four distinct platforms: Building relationships between investors and founders; Promoting the entrepreneurial ecosystem; Advocating for innovations-friendly policy; and connecting students with the startup community. The NEVCA also produces the NEVY Awards, a celebration of excellence on both sides of the investor / startup equation.
