Dakota Venture Group Benefactors and Investors

The Dakota Venture Group invests in companies through a revolving evergreen fund. With this fund, all capital gains are reinvested into the venture fund and all administrative expenses are paid through sponsorships and donations. 

Individuals contributing to the Dakota Venture Group fund have a passion for economic growth in North Dakota and Minnesota. These entrepreneurial-minded benefactors also believe in the advantages and importance of experiential learning at the university level.

"My wife Lynn and I want to give students the opportunity for hands-on learning from investing in startup ventures to train both aspiring venture capitalists and emerging entrepreneurs who need to know what it takes to attract equity investment.” 
- Bart Holaday, Founding Benefactor
