For some populations, there is a noticeable gap in gaining access to investment capital. These aspiring entrepreneurs are both underserved and overlooked, yet they have the courage and vision it takes to start and scale a business.
At Elevate Capital, we believe there is a tremendous opportunity to invest early and offer mentorship to these entrepreneurs. We provide the venture capital and guidance they need to turn their startups into great companies.
Elevate Capital is Oregon’s first institutional venture capital fund that specifically targets investments in underserved entrepreneurs—such as women and ethnic minorities, or those with limited access regionally to capital and opportunities.
We support visionaries with disruptive ideas and products through two specialized investment vehicles.
The Elevate Capital Inclusive Fund invests exclusively in women, minority, and veteran founded startups primarily in the Portland, Oregon Metro region.

Hemex Health was started with the idea that we knew there were a lot of technologies in universities that could be brought to the developing world. We talked to over 20 universities, looking at a couple of hundred technologies. We wanted something that could solve big problems in the developing world, and impact millions of people. We selected two technologies that became the core of Hemex.
