Memorandum


The West Virginia Enterprise Capital Fund, LLC was established approximately fifteen years ago to administer funds utilized in promoting and expanding venture capital money in West Virginia. That entity formed by WVEDA has a total different purpose and I would discourage co-mingling funds from this endeavor in the WV Enterprise Capital Funds, LLC. If approved the WV Board of Treasury Investment non-recourse loan could go direct to the WV Economic Development Authority and eliminate reference to WV Enterprise Capital Fund, LLC.
