National Angel Capital Organization

We are Nevada’s statewide startup accelerator & incubator. We enable entrepreneurs to develop and scale ideas from MVP to revenue-producing businesses, invest our own capital, then connect founders to additional growth capital. Get Help Funding Your Startup You have an amazing idea, and you’ve researched it and are positive there’s a market out there that’s waiting for this product or service. The only trouble is that you have no funding to get from Point A to Point B. You may not even know how to begin looking for investment sources. That’s okay because our accelerator makes an initial investment, then gives you the sales, marketing, development, and other tools to position yourself with early stage investors to raise additional capital. As you progress, we connect you with our network of angel investors and other capital sources. Become A Nevada Investor An idea paired with the right investor and mentor can become the next big industry disruptor. You’ve heard the stories, but you’ve never had the chance to do it yourself. You can change that by learning what it takes to successfully invest in business startups. Angel investing is riskier than other types of investments, but done properly, the rewards of making a great return while impacting our community makes it worthwhile. StartUpNV’s mission is to educate individuals on what it takes to be a good angel investor and make smart, successful investments. We’re establishing the angel investing ecosystem in Nevada, and you can be part of this bigger movement. Be The Good In The World. Ready To Invest While Making A Difference?

Axion Ventures is launching a new venture capital fund aimed at strategically investing in a very selective portfolio of high-growth, early-stage companies. Where We Come From Rooted in Babson College’s renowned entrepreneurial principles, our investment approach focuses on identifying, building, and scaling high-potential platforms through strategic acquisitions and operational excellence. We conduct rigorous market analysis to identify scalable platform opportunities with untapped potential, guided by the entrepreneurial mindset cultivated at Babson College. By deploying strategic capital into complementary startups and providing incubation support, we foster innovation and drive value creation. Through integration and Babson College-inspired growth strategies, we build cohesive platform ecosystems, optimizing operational synergies and scalability. Additional acquisitions enable vertical integration, strengthening competitive advantages and ensuring sustainable growth. Our structured exit strategies deliver superior returns, embodying Babson’s principles of innovation, leadership, and strategic foresight.

We help entrepreneurs grow companies of significance by connecting a community of mentors, capital for startups and customers to support growth. The Why At NXTUS, Inc, we are a catalyst for the region’s startup ecosystem. At our essence, we serve as a nexus for entrepreneurs, investors, corporate partners, and the community at-large. Our primary aim is to achieve the ‘next us’ by growing startups, strengthening innovation culture and building support systems. Based out of Wichita, we collaborate with other entrepreneur support organizations, government agencies, economic development groups, corporate innovators, and, most of all, founders and investors to positively impact and advance the economy, culture and vitality in our Midwest region. NXTUS currently manages Accelerate Venture Partners, a fast-growing regional Angel investor syndicate, the NXTSTAGE Pilot Competitions, aimed at connecting startups to mature businesses and regional partners looking to become customers for their technologies, and NXTCONNECT and AVP Insights, free monthly education series presenting wisdom and resources for our entrepreneurs and investors. One of our core values is to make sure the face of entrepreneurship reflects the make-up of our community. Diversity plays a huge role in the success of an entrepreneurial ecosystem. For our region to thrive, we want and need as many entrepreneurs as we can get. We are an inclusion organization, committed to providing customized support to all who have an idea and want to make it grow. Background In 2014, a group of experienced entrepreneurs came together with a vision to reinvigorate the entrepreneurial spirit of Wichita. Thus, an organization then called e2e was launched in 2016, with the support of many passionate individuals and corporate sponsors. Here are some history and program highlights: An initial e2e Accelerator class, launched in 2016 was made up of Appointment Launch, Buddy Brands, Knoxx / Alyss Analytics, KingFit, Reverie Roasters, and Tru-Building. LaunchPrep, launched in the Spring of 2017 as a partnership between the Wichita State University Center for Entrepreneurship and NXTUS, is a 90-day mentor driven accelerator program for early stage entrepreneurs. In 2018, Accelerate Venture Partners was formed to broaden the base of angel-stage capital investment in the region. By the end of 2019, AVP had become one of the fastest-growing angel syndicates in the U.S. In January 2020, e2e became NXTUS, continuing its vital work to support founders and their young, growing companies. NXTUS launched NXTSTAGE startup programs and a new era of community-wide innovation began.

At 37 Angels, we are committed to: Education: Our goal is to shed light on the black box of startup investing for investors and founders through education. Transparency: 37 Angels has a process that’s built around clear and open communication for both founders and funders. Empathy: Many of our members are former entrepreneurs who understand the highs and lows of business-building. At 37 Angels, our mission is to reduce the gender gap in angel investing. We achieve this primarily through education. Our approach to learning is collaborative, as we encourage and expect that all members participate in conducting diligence and sharing their expertise with each other. OUR BOOTCAMP Most members will begin their membership with our angel investing bootcamp, a rigorous program taught by our founder who is a professor of venture capital at Columbia Business School. Our bootcamps are experiential in nature - participants immediately put the learning to practice by conducting diligence on a real startup under the mentorship of our team and seasoned angel investors. CONTINUED LEARNING The learning continues through a variety of workshops on topics ranging from cap table math to industry deep dives. These workshops are led by industry professionals, seasoned angel investors (many of which are also mentors for our network) and subject matter experts. We create a safe place to keep learning, asking questions, and honing your startup investing skills. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT We are committed to supporting our members in furthering their careers through professional development opportunities and access to our network of accomplished members. Opportunities to serve on advisory boards, panels, or competition judges are often made available to our network. We also deepen our sense of community through our networking events such as supper clubs and happy hours.
