Northwest Technology Ventures

Northwest Technology Ventures is a formation-stage venture fund based in Portland, Oregon.  NTV undertakes seed and early-stage venture investments in Oregon with a specific focus on opportunities arising from the state’s public and private universities, research institutions, and corporate research laboratories.

The Fund is currently fully committed with an existing portfolio of companies in technology and life sciences. Our efforts are focused on managing and cultivating these portfolio investments to enhance the companies' opportunities for success. To date NTV portfolio companies have raised in the aggregate over $225 million in outside investment, not including non-equity funding such as grants and contracts, which are very significant for some of our science and technology based companies, and which amount to over $35 million to date. With the ongoing improvement in business climate we are seeing positive developments in several of NTV's portfolio companies as they continue to raise investment rounds and explore liquidity options.
