The Midlands Venture Forum was established to meet the need in the business community for an organization to support the entrepreneurial spirit, education and activity. The purpose of the MVF is to benefit the community by providing necessary educational tools to new businesses started in the community.
Our number one priority is to assist, educate and create regional support for entrepreneurs in the Midlands. That’s what we do. Support touchstones come from many different resources including business mentors, venture capital firms, angel investors, and service providers. Additionally important to the development of successful entrepreneurs is continuing educational programs. As a mainstay of the Forum’s efforts, the organization provides high quality education programs about high growth opportunities, essential business processes and the availability of capital and resources.
