Virginia Accelerator Network

The Virginia Accelerator Network (VAN) is a consortium of nonprofit entrepreneur support organizations (ESOs) dedicated to transforming economic development across the Commonwealth by supporting the launch and growth of early-stage, innovation-based startups. VAN serves as a platform for peer-to-peer networking, technical assistance, best-practice sharing, the development of policy solutions, and identification of funding opportunities. The ESOs in the network represent an array of activities and programs including startup accelerators, business incubators, innovation hubs, ecosystem building initiatives, and more.

VAN partners provide a range of low-cost and free services to the founders of potentially high-growth companies in Virginia. This work includes assisting in company creation, providing expert business assistance, facilitating and/or making direct investments, professional coaching and mentoring, and speeding the commercialization of technology into the marketplace. VAN is managed by the VIPC Ecosystem Development team.
