New Community Transformation Fund is a Michigan-based venture capital platform investing in overlooked founders, investors, and companies. The fund’s work sits at the intersection of economic development and entrepreneurship, with a focus on expanding access to early-stage capital while seeking strong, risk-adjusted returns. NCTF is focused on Michigan companies in sectors where the state has existing strengths, including life sciences, advanced manufacturing, software, technology, and related industries. The fund invests across pre-seed, seed, and Series A stages, providing exposure to a portfolio of companies rather than a single business. In January 2026, an Abundance Angel recommended a $555,000 commitment to NCTF through Abundance Capital. The commitment reflected donor interest in supporting a professionally managed venture fund focused on entrepreneurship, innovation, job creation, and economic growth in Michigan. The fund’s impact approach includes tracking job creation, portfolio company leadership, and the number of lives positively affected through investments that reduce barriers in areas such as health, education, wealth-building, access, and innovation. Returns are not guaranteed and depend on the fund’s long-term portfolio performance, future financing activity, and company exits.
