Today - this collaboration is more important than ever.
We are in a Great Power competition for global leadership and companies face “nation-state” threats daily.

We all read about increasing cyber security attacks, digital authenticity, chip shortages, artificial intelligence practices, and privacy around massive datasets. Some of the greatest innovations like ARPANET/internet, the modern space program, and the Human Genome Project exemplify what can go right. New North Ventures is at the front row looking for companies who are working in these spaces to become the next Cisco, SpaceX, or Moderna.
