Plains Ventures

Plains Ventures invests in Seed and Series A stage companies located between the coasts, providing capital, strategic guidance, and active support to entrepreneurs from concept through growth. Its portfolio spans software, life sciences, advanced materials, and manufacturing, emphasizing value creation beyond capital.

Justin Wilson became President and Managing Director early 2021, transforming i2E Management Company Inc. into Plains Ventures. The firm emerged from the insight that innovative middle American founders and their ideas were often overlooked, lacking capital, spurring funding and support to unlock regional potential.

Plains Ventures serves entrepreneurs and emerging companies outside traditional coastal tech hubs. Its vision is to prove substantial innovation flourishes across middle America, bringing impactful ideas to market. The objective: foster ventures solving high-value problems, generating strong returns and cultivating a dynamic ecosystem.
