About the Venture Alliance

The NTEC Venture Alliance Partner Program (VAP) was created to stimulate venture capital investment in early stage, medical technology-based businesses that are located in Texas and the South Central U.S. region.  Statistically, this region of the country is significantly underserved by venture capital firms but has a long history of entrepreneurial activity and extensive university and national lab based research. NTEC management recognized an opportunity to deliver a program that would provide pre-screened, early stage medtech investment opportunities to venture capital firms outside of the region while at the same time providing entrepreneurs access to venture investors located outside of their operating area. The program goals are simple; increase venture investment in Texas and South Central U.S. based companies and facilitate the establishment of new, permanent venture capital firm offices in North Texas.  NTEC is uniquely qualified to deliver this program to both venture investors and entrepreneurs. For nearly 8 years, NTEC has been the premier business accelerator for medical technology businesses located in this region. The NTEC management team has 15 plus years of regional development experience and an extensive contact network to properly vet and support investors and entrepreneurs pre and post investment.  If you are an investor looking for opportunities to invest in Texas and the surrounding region and need an experienced partner with region specific knowledge and a well defined referral process, the VAP may be of interest to you.  If you are an entrepreneur ready for venture capital investment and are seeking an advantage in accessing capital, we encourage you to apply to the VAP.
