New Mexico Vintage Fund II Closes $1.5M In Investments

By  Carol A Clark,  Los Alamos Daily Post

New Mexico Vintage Fund 2023, a partner fund of New Mexico Angels, has expanded and added new investees.

In just two months, more than $1.5 million has been raised, and the fund has provided funding for BioFlyte, an Albuquerque-based disinfectant biotech startup that recently expanded into a new facility at the Sandia Science and Technology Park and Solstar Space Co, a Santa Fe-based startup developing a series of technologies to enable Wi-Fi connectivity in space, who recently landed a contract with the U.S. Department of the Air Force.

NM Vintage Funds provide a specialized pool of local capital for New Mexico-based early stage and high-growth companies committed to making a difference in the state. Investments usually range from $100,000 to $250,000.

“The interest in Vintage Fund 2023 is surpassing our expectations,” said Drew Tulchin, New Mexico Vintage Fund Managing Partner and President of New Mexico Angels. “Clearly the start-up community is booming in the State, above national averages, and we are thrilled to be a part of it. Stay tuned for more successes in the near future.”

This is the second NM Vintage Fund after a strong launch in 2022. That fund worked with 17 companies investing more than $2 million, including in award winning New Mexico stand-outs:

UbiQD – Los Alamos based making quantum dots;
Las Cruces’ Ganymede Games; and
Green Theme Technologies growing its international sales; and
Build with Robots in Albuquerque.
