Venture gets a rare Native American-led fund in Betsy Fore’s Velveteen Ventures


The firm will look to invest $500,000 to $4 million in 15-20 seed and Series A companies in the healthcare, climate, consumer, and community sectors.

Joining Fore at Velveteen is Karla Brollier, also of Native descent, who hails from Patagonia and will lead climate investments at the firm.
