GRA operates as an independent not-for-profit entity governed by leaders from industry and academia. While GRA receives a state appropriation for investment in university-based research opportunities, its small staff and lean operations are funded through foundation and industry contributions. GRA's venture development program is Georgia's only non-profit catalyst for seeding and shaping companies around research at multiple universities. GRA Venture Fund is a public-private venture capital fund investing in research-driven, Georgia-based startup companies. As one of the largest venture capital funds in Georgia, GRA Venture Fund is led by a team of professionals with deep experience and expertise in technology entrepreneurship. Today, 180 university-based companies are in the GRA portfolio. These enterprises have brought to Georgia more than a billion dollars in equity investment. They generate more than $660 million in revenue and employ more than 1300 professionals.
