Investor in Atlanta, Georgia

## About GRA Venture Fund

It takes more than a good idea and some early seed money to propel a startup.

Newly launched companies have a greater chance of thriving in the long term if they:

▪ emerge out of advanced research and development ▪ receive key investment at a pivotal point early in their development; and ▪ have a partner to help galvanize “critical mass” in outside VC investment.

GRA Venture Fund, LLC is this venture capital partner. We're a one-of-a-kind, public-private fund that fuels high-potential, research-based startups in Georgia to growth and stability.

Companies participating in GRA's venture development program may be eligible to receive investment capital through the GRA Venture Fund, LLC.

In addition, companies selected for GRA Venture Fund investment are required by Georgia law to:

▪ have their principal place of business in Georgia, and ▪ be engaged in innovative work in the areas of technology, life sciences, manufacturing, agriculture, or information-related ventures that will increase Georgia’s share of domestic or international markets.

The GRA Venture Fund’s unique vantage point — watching companies launch and develop out of the laboratories of Georgia’s universities – is a great distinction compared to other venture funds. After assessing an array of highly promising enterprises, the Managing Director of the Fund works closely with the Fund’s Board and with GRA to select a small group of promising ventures for potential investment.

In performing due diligence, the GRA Venture Fund’s leadership not only investigates and evaluates prospective companies; it also provides business counsel and expertise to company leaders and connects them with investors and advisors.
