Nashville Capital Network promotes entrepreneurial education and economic growth by being the hub for early stage capital formation in Middle Tennessee. NCN's mission centers on the simultaneous development of two promising initiatives:

Educational and entrepreneurial focused initiative: To help entrepreneurs with business ventures that have the potential to attract institutional equity to refine their business concepts and prepare for the fundraising process. NCN serves as an advocate for entrepreneurs and assists in the fundraising process by matching promising ventures with experienced and knowledgeable Nashville-based advisors and investors.

Investor initiative: To build a stable and easily identifiable source of local early stage capital by delivering value to a network of investors via deal flow, investment analysis, and due diligence. As part of the investor initiative, NCN manages a $5.2 million sidecar investment fund and the TNInvestco Tennessee Angel Fund.
