NAPLES, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, May 11, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Naples Technology Ventures (NTV) announces the kick off of its next fund, the NTV Prosperity Fund, a fund investing primarily in Black and other Minority owned companies. The Fund will allow NTV to expand their financial and operational expertise to minority individuals and companies that have traditionally been largely excluded from opportunities available to non-minorities in the Venture Capital sector. In selecting its investments, the Fund will also give a consideration to whether an investment in a target company is likely to expand job opportunities in marginalized communities.
NTV Prosperity Fund will be dedicated to investing in promising early-stage technology companies in the Pre-Revenue, Pre-Seed, and Seed stages. The fund will seek investment opportunities within the AI and machine learning, blockchain, IoT, robotics and other advanced technology sectors, with ideal companies operating under a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.
“We are proud to find a way to give back by putting to work what we know and do best,” said Mike Abbaei, NTV’s Co-Founder and Managing Partner. “We picked the tag line “Together We Change” to prove that if everyone in the ecosystem comes together, not only can we force a change socially, we can also deliver positive economic outcomes."
“It is a great opportunity to partner up with Vercie Lark, our newest Portfolio Partner and a veteran technology executive with ties to minority communities and companies. With Vercie on board as part of NTV, we are certain to achieve our goal of making an impact with minority entrepreneurs across the nation," said Brij Sharma, NTV’s Co-Founder and Managing Partner.
