The Midlands Venture Forum was established to meet the need in the business community for an organization to support the entrepreneurial spirit, education and activity. The purpose of the MVF is to benefit the community by providing necessary educational tools to new businesses started in the community.

Our number one priority is to educate and create regional support for entrepreneurs in the Midlands. That’s what we do. Support touchstones come from many different resources including venture capital firms, private investors, private “angel” investors, and service providers. Each of these resources has a significant role in the venture capital connection and collaboration process. Additionally important to the connection process is continuing educational programs. As a mainstay of the Forum's initial efforts, the organization provides high quality education programs about high growth opportunities, essential business processes and the availability of capital and resources.

Through monthly meetings and educational workshops, conferences and lunch-n-learns, the Forum helps and informs entrepreneurs. These meetings and educational workshops provide venues for business people to come together and for entrepreneurs to present their business plans, go-to-market strategies and investment requests, and learn from other entrepreneurs.
