Better-For-You Consumer
What, how, and where consumers buy products and services are in a state of change. A deterioration of trust in traditional choices has resulted in more experimental consumers who support smaller, lesser known companies, especially those generating positive impacts on health, the environment, and our communities.
Smart Cities
With the application of cheap, powerful cloud computing and low-cost, abundant sensors, the next generation city will be digital, connected, and resilient. Food, water, and energy security will also be of upmost importance. We invest in companies making cities more resilient, comfortable, and efficient ensuring prosperity in the years ahead.
Sustainable Food Systems
Our food system emits roughly 1/3 of all greenhouse gases and wastes enough food to feed more than 2 billion people. Entrepreneurs are developing solutions throughout the the entire food value chain. New companies are innovating solutions, many of which are digital, that will allow our growing population to feed itself healthfully and more sustainably.
We partner with talented entrepreneurs who have big ideas.

"From an entrepreneur's perspective, NGEN represents what's good in venture capital. As a firm, NGEN is supportive at the right times, involved, but do not slow the system. Through a vast network of contacts and a wealth of experience, NGEN is able to deliver the elusive "we provide more than just money." But what sets NGEN apart is their people. As a board member, NGEN has been thoughtful and creative a guide, a confidant, and a friend. I cannot think of any higher. praise I could give."
