Venture Capital in Las Vegas
A private capital platform built in — and for — one of America's fastest-growing markets.
AJG Venture Group is a Las Vegas venture capital and private investment firm founded by AJ Gunasena. While we invest nationwide, we are headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada — and we believe it is one of the most underrated places in America to build and back companies.
Why Las Vegas
Nevada combines zero state income tax, business-friendly regulation, and one of the country's strongest in-migration trends. Las Vegas has grown far beyond hospitality: logistics, sports, healthcare, technology, and professional services are all expanding, and the entrepreneurs building here are hungry and capital-efficient.
Yet the local capital base hasn't kept pace with the local ambition. Most Las Vegas founders still fly to the coasts for funding. AJG Venture Group exists in part to close that gap — putting committed, decisive private capital to work close to home.
What we do here
We invest our own capital in startups, small businesses, software, AI, fintech, biotechnology, and select real estate and media opportunities — see our full investment focus. Locally, our roots run deep: our founder also operates FlipWithAJ Real Estate Group, a private hard money lender financing Las Vegas and Henderson investment properties, and Real Vegas Magazine, a media brand covering the city itself.
Beyond the check
Las Vegas businesses often need more than money — they need operating help, brand firepower, and connections. We work hands-on with portfolio companies on strategy, marketing, and the systems required to scale, drawing on our team's experience across lending, media, and consumer brands.
