Heartland Ventures was formed to do what no other venture capital fund has done before: connect established Midwest companies with coastal startups, giving business leaders a voice in the tech transformation happening in their industries. By leveraging a network of strategic investors composed of private, often rural, and mostly multi-generational business owners and operators, their team has effectively formed the largest network of mid-market tech buyers in the Midwest. They have over $100 million under management, and they’ve invested in 14 high-performing portfolio companies since inception.
