Investment thesis
Proven Ventures invests in Nebraska-based, revenue-generating companies (generally $250,000+ in annual revenue) with demonstrated customer traction, strong margins or a credible path to profitability, and scalable business models. Its best-fit companies are often primarily B2B or asset-light businesses seeking capital to make strategic hires, expand sales, develop products, enter new markets, or move faster on proven opportunities. Rather than traditional debt or equity, the firm uses a debt-equity structure that aligns repayment with revenue, avoids fixed monthly payments, caps the firm's upside, and creates a defined pathway for founders to repurchase ownership through business performance. The firm also supports founders with operational, go-to-market, finance, and growth expertise.
