ENTREPRENEURS

Accelerate your growth with MVF equity capital or connect with one of our partners for other funding options.

MVF makes equity investments in Maine companies with high growth and impact potential. We move efficiently through diligence, work with co-investors, and stay active as a partner long after the round closes. Not the right fit for equity right now? We'll point you toward the right resource. Either way, we want to hear from you.

INVESTORS

Equity fundraising rounds usually need multiple investors — and MVF is built for that.

We work to identify the right co-investors for every round and share diligence. If you’re an angel or a fund looking for overlooked opportunities in a growing market, we want to know you.
