The Renaissance Venture Capital Fund was formed with the philosophy that venture capital is important for economic growth and that many major industrial and business regions such as the State of Michigan are underserved in the amount of venture capital available to fund exciting new ideas and technologies. Success is often built by a combination of innovation, capital and strong working relationships. Our belief is that by providing much needed capital to top tier venture capital firms that are active in Michigan and by building bridges between young innovation companies and Michigan's established business community, we can achieve regional success in the form of strong investment returns and economic growth.
