Co-Invest with Us

Dedicated to serving the common good in uncommon ways, our investments bring real solutions to many of today's challenges. 

 Our venture investment entities, Red Cedar Ventures (RCV) and Michigan Rise, focus on technologies and companies arising from Michigan State University's extraordinary faculty, researchers, and students as well as the Michigan ecosystem.  

 From life sciences to precision agriculture, our companies strive to make the world better. Our portfolio investments include agriculture, mobility, energy, life sciences, materials, as well as advanced manufacturing, and SAS.  

 Our team aspires to invest in breakthrough technologies. Through local investment, we bring economic value—not only to the Greater Lansing Area's community but also to Michigan's economy. Through our investments, we attract, cultivate, and retain excellence.  

 Both RCV and Michigan Rise provides resources to help launch entrepreneurial ventures including funding, mentorship and coaching, board participation, commercial/market assessment, startup advising, business documentation and support services, partnership opportunities related to MSU, and consulting on overall strategy and execution.
