This morning we hosted Meadowbrook High School students participating in the MADE program (Meadowbrook Academy for Developing Entrepreneurs). The program’s mission is to provide students in Chesterfield County the chance to become entrepreneurs and launch startups designed around their dreams, passions and interest. We told them all about Startup Virginia’s mission, how our incubator supports founders, and took the group on a tour of our space. They shared some startup ideas they were working on with us, which were very impressive! Good luck to this bright group of freshmen. ✨🙌 #svahappenings

We are so proud of David Waltenbaugh, founder of @rootvr, for winning @vcualumni’s inaugural Alumni Pitch Competition on Saturday! David came to the SVA team for a few pitch practices to prepare and improved so much, so quickly that we had full confidence in him. Congrats, David! We’re excited for the future of @rootvr. #svamembernews 📸: @vcualumni and @rootvr

Yesterday we held our second Values Based Leadership session on “Developing Teams.” The workshop, led by @innerwill, helped our startups learn how to assemble, structure, and manage teams to their highest level of potential. We went through exercises on how to communicate and address conflict within teams. It was a great session!

What a weekend - we entered Better Housing Coalition’s Gingerbread House Challenge and won 2nd place! The theme this year was “Holiday Songs,” and we went with an untraditional choice: “Marley and Marley” from the classic film, “A Muppet’s Christmas Carol.” The risk (and the 12 hours spent building it the night before) paid off! And congrats to BHC who raised over $24K from today’s event.
