PRESS RELEASES

April 13, 2026 — NIN Ventures, a crowdfunded venture capital firm, is inviting investors to an upcoming IRA Investor Call. The virtual event will feature Ms. Nin Desai, Crowdfunding Founder & CEO, alongside Mr. Patrick Hagen, National Director at STRATA Trust Company, a leading provider of self-directed IRA services. 

Ms. Desai will discuss NIN Ventures’ unique crowdfunded VC fund model, will take a deeper look into NIN Ventures’ investment strategy, including how the fund identifies high-growth opportunities across sectors such as artificial intelligence, robotics, fintech, 3D printing, Industry 4.0, space tech, cloud, among others. Together they will discuss the significant tax advantages and diversification benefits of holding alternative assets such as venture capital within a Self-Directed IRA.

“Self-directed” refers to how certain IRA providers manage the assets in an account. In a self-directed IRA, the investor—not the provider—decides how the funds are invested. These accounts make it possible to invest in alternative assets such as venture capital. One of the main advantages of using an IRA is tax-deferred growth: while profits from regular investments are subject to capital gains taxes, earnings within an IRA are not taxed until withdrawal. Over time, this tax deferral can significantly enhance returns. Additionally, a self-directed IRA offers a level of diversification that standard IRA portfolios generally cannot provide.

“NIN Ventures was founded with the vision of democratizing venture capital — making it accessible to all investors,” said Ms. Desai. “By seamlessly combining this model with Self-Directed IRAs, accredited investors now have greater choice and control over their financial future. They can gain direct exposure to the NIN Ventures Technology (QP) Fund, benefit from tax-deferred growth on alternative assets, achieve true portfolio diversification, and unlock real financial freedom by eliminating layers of traditional middlemen and their high management fees”.

March 9, 2026 – NIN Ventures (or NIN.V), a crowdfunded technology venture capital firm, today pointed to the latest PitchBook data underscoring persistent challenges in traditional US venture capital fundraising and the timely role for innovative models like Crowdfunding.

Only $66.1 billion was raised by 537 funds in 2025. This has been the trend since the pandemic boom, where $222.9 billion was raised by 1,777 funds in 2022. “Venture is a cyclical business, although every business cycle is different, historical analysis suggests that the rhythm of cyclical fluctuations in the economy tends to follow a similar pattern. Last time we saw a dip in venture fund raising activity was in 2013,” said Ms. Desai, Crowdfunding Founder & CEO, NIN Ventures.

However, the dip is different this time around. As per Pitchbook-NVCA Venture Monitor, there is a record $299.3 billion of dry power as of June 30, 2025. One-third of today’s dry powder stems from funds raised during the pandemic-era boom, and GPs have continued to reserve more capital for follow-ons and portfolio support. In 2024, 30 firms raised 75% of all capital raised by VC funds in the US, with the majority of them investing in AI. While AI-driven enthusiasm has lifted sentiment, it has yet to accelerate deployment, creating a niche for other non-AI technology startups as well. Thus, it is time to give another look at Crowdfunding and NIN Ventures 2.0. The best time to Crowdfund was 2013-2015: the second best time is NOW!
