Investment Sources
We source our investments in 3 ways:
- Rice Business Plan Competition
- Angel ecosystem recommendations
- Entrepreneur initiated conversations
nCourage plays a vital role in the Rice Business Plan Competition. Our members not only serve as judges but also celebrate and support the next generation of female entrepreneurs by awarding the "Courageous Women’s Award" to the standout women-led teams.
Angel Ecosystem
nCourage is well connected with other angels and venture capital groups. We routinely share leads and attend networking events, which often leads to meeting innovative companies we consider for investment.
