Accessing Nevada's $39M Growth Capital with Kyle Ferguson
Nevada has nearly $39 million in SSBCI-backed capital available through Battle Born Growth and the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development. Kyle Ferguson is looking for serious companies that can turn that capital into durable Nevada growth.
Nick Smoot is co-hosting this session with Kyle Ferguson to help founders understand the opportunity, pressure-test fit, and get routed into the right next step.
This is a practical webinar for founders, CEOs, operators, and capital-ready companies building in, expanding into, or seriously considering Nevada.
Strongest fit companies
Kyle is especially looking for companies with a credible Nevada path in areas like:
Energy, electrification, geothermal, grid, storage, and critical infrastructure
Advanced manufacturing, robotics, automation, drones, and industrial hardware
Industrial AI, spatial intelligence, infrastructure intelligence, and applied autonomy
Logistics, supply chain, warehousing, mobility, and defense-adjacent operations
Mining, critical minerals, materials, circular economy, and industrial resilience
Healthcare delivery, rural access, workforce-enabling technology, and scalable services
Companies that can hire, manufacture, deploy, relocate, pilot, or sell into Nevada
You do not need to already be based in Nevada. You do need a credible path to economic activity in Nevada through operations, hiring, manufacturing, engineering, customers, deployment sites, supply chain partnerships, or relocation.
