While Maine may not be home to Silicon Valley, our state boasts an impressive legacy of industry pioneers who actively support the local entrepreneurship community through investment. In fact, Maine’s angel and venture capital investors have a particular interest in increasing deal flow for Maine-based businesses, which means you stand out among a crowded pitch field. Dirigo Labs is proud to partner with a deep network of investors to cultivate a variety of funding opportunities.
Dirigo Labs cohort members have the opportunity to participate in Demo Day pitch challenges, networking events, and conferences. In the future, cohort members may apply to the Dirigo Labs investment arm, which will regularly review deals and may make non-dilutive or equity-based capital deals when appropriate.
