New Media Ventures (NMV) is the first seed fund and national network of angel investors supporting media and tech startups that disrupt politics and catalyze progressive change. Its mission is to find, support, and finance organizations that are telling new stories, building advocacy movements, and catalyzing civic engagement. In 2014, NMV established an Innovation Fund to address a critical demand for seed capital to support startups that use media and technology to drive progressive change. NMV seeks out entrepreneurs with new ideas and innovative perspectives and places smart bets where it thinks it can make a difference in the success of those ventures.
