ashville Capital Network (“NCN”) is a collaborative initiative of Vanderbilt University, the Nashville Technology Council, Nashville Health Care Council, local investors, as well as, local business and professional leaders. NCN strives to promote entrepreneurial education and economic growth by becoming the hub for early stage capital formation in middle Tennessee.
NCN's mission centers around the simultaneous development of two distinct initiatives:
Educational and Entrepreneurial focused initiative: NCN helps entrepreneurs with business ventures that have the potential to attract institutional equity refine their business concepts and prepare for the fundraising process. As an extension of its educational initiative, the NCN serves as an advocate for entrepreneurs and will assist in the fundraising process by matching promising ventures with experienced and knowledgeable Nashville-based investors.
Investor Initiative: To continue building a source of early stage capital by delivering value to investors via deal flow, investment analysis, and due diligence. NCN employs these resources to help develop investment opportunities often not available to individuals or informal investor groups.
