Bronze Valley has an intentional focus on investing in regions where capital and resources may not come as easily. Nearly all of the startups we invest in (96%) come from outside of traditional tech hubs and our portfolio companies now span across nearly 20 states.
We continue to see a significant opportunity in the Mid-Atlantic region, particularly Philadelphia, which has become a top-ranking Life Sciences hub and recently launched new small businesses initiatives to support entrepreneurs. More so, the city boasts strong tech talent and affordable living, making it the perfect place to start a company.
Bronze Valley’s Philadelphia startups continue gaining momentum – and that’s why we are excited to announce follow-on investments in 3 of our Philly portfolio companies. Learn more about their trailblazing work below!
