Great Plains Partners is a venture capital firm deploying resources to mature and transition innovations to our clients in innovative technologies, including nascent technologies stemming from national laboratories and research institutions.

Our mission is to create long-term value for our investors through the careful stewardship of their capital. In partnership with our industrial clients, we form and finance technology development companies that perform applied research that delivers prototype systems and mature technologies for adoption within their industry.

GPP’s strategy is to identify and acquire nascent technologies of commercial promise including those from research universities and national laboratories within the historically limited funding phases of Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4-6 (dubbed the funding “Valley of Death”) and allocate resources to rapidly mature these technologies for industry adoption.
