VIPC is committed to making Virginia the best place to create, grow, and scale innovative technologies and startups. Its grant and investment programs bridge critical funding gaps faced by innovators, founders, and companies at the earliest stages of the entrepreneurial journey.
VIPC fuels innovation in Virginia by advancing cutting-edge research and turning novel ideas into real-world solutions. Through competitive grants, VIPC supports universities in developing technologies at the earliest stages of commercialization and the infrastructure to support these efforts.
Through its Virginia Invests program, VIPC invests in venture capital fund managers committed to expanding investment and growth opportunities for Virginia-based, innovation-driven startups and entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Virginia’s vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem includes accelerators, incubators, technology councils, and other Virginia-based organizations that support entrepreneurs in their earliest stages. VIPC’s Regional Innovation Fund (RIF) provides grants to these organizations, enabling them to continue fostering science- and technology-based enterprises.
