We stand in solidarity with the Black community in

We stand in solidarity with the Black community in the fight against racism and injustice. We can do better. We must do better. We know we don't have all the answers, but Startup Virginia is committed to actively listening, learning, and seeking out and supporting opportunities to create meaningful change in our own community and in RVA's entrepreneurial ecosystem.
@femalefoundersfund has compiled an "Anti-Racist Resource Guide for the Tech & VC Community" with the intention of deepening anti-racism knowledge and to share ways we can participate in creating change. Link in bio.

Last week, we participated in @dominionpayroll’s

Last week, we participated in @dominionpayroll’s Covid-19 Webinar Series - this one focused on “Startups: Innovation in Uncertain Times”. 💻 We had a great conversation alongside Scott Ukrop with NRV and Robert De Wolff, founder of STAC (both part of the SVA community) sharing updates on how things are going. While Covid has undoubtedly been a challenge for entrepreneurs, investors, and incubators, it has also presented exciting opportunities. SVA, for example, is working on expanding its programming, creating an online Entrepreneur Certificate Course and a new Ideation program (more details TBA!) 💡💡💡 Thanks, @dominionpayroll for giving us the opportunity to share! Check out the link in our bio to watch a recording of the event. 🔗
