Connecticut Innovations, the state’s strategic venture capital arm, has launched a new fund committed to investing in early-stage companies, with an emphasis on underrepresented founders.
The Future Fund is looking to invest in venture-backable, tech-enabled startups showing high growth potential. Investment sizes will range from $250,000 to $1.5 million. Although the fund will prioritize disruptive startups in the largest and growing markets, any innovative, early-stage company with diversity at the board or executive level may apply for consideration.
