# VisionTech Partners > An Indianapolis-based angel investment platform operating one of the Midwest's most > active angel investing groups. VisionTech connects accredited investors with vetted > early-stage companies through two pathways — the VisionTech Angel Network and a managed > venture fund — and has backed 76 companies since 2009. VisionTech invests in Pre-Seed through Series A companies with validated solutions and early traction, across life sciences, SaaS, medical devices, energy and AgTech.
