CEV Venture Fund Launch

Allura Global is pleased to announce the launch of its third venture capital fund, Community Equity Ventures. Led by Eric Dobson and Marcum King, CEV is a $25M venture fund investing in high-growth companies across strategic sectors including MedTech, Aerospace & Defense, Women’s Health Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Heartland Technologies.

Built on decades of entrepreneurial, operational, and investment experience, CEV is designed to identify, fund, and scale breakthrough technologies emerging from the Interior Innovation Corridor (IIC), a region rich in intellectual property, research institutions, technical talent, and industrial capability that has historically been underserved by traditional venture capital.

Community Equity Ventures will deploy a series of focused sector funds, providing founders with capital, strategic guidance, and access to an extensive network of investors, operators, universities, national laboratories, healthcare systems, and industry partners. With offices in Cincinnati, Ohio and Knoxville, Tennessee, CEV’s mission is to capitalize North American innovation while creating meaningful economic impact in emerging technology ecosystems.

Through disciplined investment selection, extensive viability screening, and hands-on portfolio support, Allura Global and Community Equity Ventures are committed to helping visionary entrepreneurs transform breakthrough ideas into category-leading companies. CEV has the pedigree and a consistent track record of success.
