Overview

New Media Ventures (NMV) is a seed fund and national network of angel investors that provides early-stage capital and strategic support to media and technology startups driving progressive political change in the United States. Unlike traditional venture capital firms, NMV focuses exclusively on scalable, revenue-generating startups that create long-term impact beyond any single election cycle, targeting sectors such as media and narrative, organizing and advocacy, and elections and civic engagement. The firm has mobilized over $50 million to more than 70 startups since its founding in 2010, including notable companies like Upworthy, PushBlack, Indivisible, and Pantsuit Nation, demonstrating a strong track record within the progressive movement. Led by women co-presidents, NMV differentiates itself through its open, transparent, and accessible investment process, leveraging a network of engaged investors who serve as lead investors, advisors, or board members to ensure portfolio company success.
