New this year! Most RMVCA members will gain access to exclusive discounted NVCA membership rates through a new pilot program designed to strengthen our shared venture community across the Mountain West. Developed in partnership with NVCA’s Board of Directors, the program will help smaller firms engage in national policy, advocacy, and networking- without the traditional financial barrier to membership.
Here’s how it works:
· Firms with less than $200M in committed capital and 1–3 closed funds qualify for discounted dues compared to the standard NVCA membership rate:
o 0-1 funds closed receive 75% off standard membership
o 2 funds closed receive 50% off…
o 3 funds closed receive 25% off…
· The pilot runs through May 31, with the possibility to renew at the discounted rate if the pilot program is successful.
**Reminder: NVCA’s membership year runs June 1–May 31
· Eligible RMVCA firms that are not yet NVCA members who join during the six-month pilot will receive the discount.
This new partnership reflects our shared commitment to helping emerging managers thrive—expanding access, elevating regional voices, and connecting RMVCA members to a national venture ecosystem.
RMVCA’s membership year is March 1 - Feb 28 annually. RMVCA Membership includes big discounts to our 3 primary events in addition to being a valued member of a growing VC community in our region:
