Richmond, VA (October 8, 2018) — Startup Virginia (SVA) announced today that Noelle James has joined the incubator as the Director of Startup Growth. Noelle will be responsible for achieving SVA’s primary goal of helping startup founders grow faster and smarter than they would on their own.

Noelle is highly versed in intellectual property and technology matters as well as corporate formation and governance – all areas of expertise that will benefit members of SVA.
“As we evaluated the additional ways to support our current and prospective members, it was clear the role of Director of Startup Growth was a critical need,” said Wintsch. “Thanks to a grant from our friends at Activation Capital, we were able to hire Noelle.”
