InvestTN Portfolio
In 2023, LaunchTN started deploying capital through InvestTN, a $70-million equity investment fund. By May 2025, InvestTN had funded 36 startups from a range of industries, including fintech, manufacturing, e-commerce, biotech, and more.
LaunchTN Investment Funds
InvestTN is the equity investment program within Fund Tennessee — $117 million in federal funding for Tennessee as part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s State Small Business & Credit Initiative (SSBCI) program. Launch Tennessee operates InvestTN, which is designed for venture-suited companies looking to raise Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A and B funding. InvestTN is sometimes referred to as SSBCI 2.0.
The Incite Fund was the original SSBCI fund that Launch Tennessee deployed, sometimes referred to as SSBCI 1.0. But this fund worked differently than InvestTN. The Incite Fund provided only matching funds for companies, whereas InvestTN provides direct investments and requires a 1:1 match. Proceeds from the Incite Fund were returned to LaunchTN to be put into the Impact Fund, to be reinvested into new companies.

The Impact Fund is LaunchTN’s seed stage evergreen fund designed to re-invest the returns from LaunchTN’s INCITE Fund. The fund is currently fully deployed, and LaunchTN will make ongoing announcements as new capital becomes available.
