Venture Capital Programs

The U.S. Department of the Treasury approved Virginia’s application for more than $175M + funding to support the state’s small businesses and entrepreneurs through and array of credit support and investment programs. This program will provide resources for Governor Youngkin’s vision of an innovation economy in the Commonwealth by enabling increased access to capital, especially in traditionally underserved communities.

The Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation (VIPC) allocates funds through Virginia Venture Partners (VVP) to place equity investments in Virginia’s leading seed stage start-ups, explore investment opportunities in emerging sectors vital to Virginia’s future and support other funds aligned with that mission.
