Renaissance drives the growth of regional venture capital investment, while serving as a bridge between emerging innovation communities and a strong industrial and commercial base.
Renaissance invests in venture capital funds around the U.S. and connects those funds with both Michigan’s start-up community and with major companies looking for innovation. Renaissance’s work increases entrepreneurial activity in the region and introduces promising young companies to potential partners, providing benefit to both communities and enhancing financial performance.
Renaissance has shown that its innovative approach to venture capital in traditionally underserved regions can have a powerful impact. In addition to financial returns, its strategy helps drive growth in new innovation corridors so badly needed in many parts of the country.
