Southeast Kansas Venture Alliance (SEKVA)

Founded in 2005, Southeast Kansas Venture Alliance (SEKVA), including its affiliate, the Midwest Venture Alliance (MVA), is a network of accredited investors committed to investing in high-growth seed and early-stage technology companies in Kansas and surrounding states.

SEKVA members provide seed and early-stage capital in the range of $250K-$2M, an investment range not generally served by Venture Capitalists.

The SEKVA allows investors to benefit from a professionally managed organization while accessing better investment opportunities.  The SEKVA makes it possible to leverage resources to make sound investments in private companies on terms that provide both the company and the investors with a greater chance to succeed. The Southeast Kansas Venture Alliance provides:

• Coordinated member-based review of business plans and investment opportunities in Kansas and the surrounding region, with each member deciding when and where to invest their own capital;

• A professional, experienced team of managers that are skilled in performing due diligence on investments as well as providing hands on business assistance to entrepreneurs of seed and early-stage companies;

• Negotiation and structure of investment terms designed to protect the private investor's interests while enhancing value and allowing the companies in which the SEKVA invests to thrive.

The Southeast Kansas Venture Alliance is a member of the Angel Capital Association, North America's professional alliance of angel groups.
