Startup Virginia supports startups and innovators with an engaged community, holistic programs, targeted resources, and dynamic workspace to help them reach their full potential and positively impact Virginia’s economic landscape.

Welcome to the hub of innovation.


Startup Virginia® (SVA) is a nonprofit high-growth business incubator and entrepreneurial hub where innovators can learn, collaborate, and grow. 

As a collective of passionate people, we work together to support and scale the forward-thinking businesses shaping Central Virginia and beyond. While our focus is on nurturing startup businesses, we are committed to being a community resource for all Virginians looking to positively impact innovation in our local ecosystem.

In 2016, with the support of founding partner, Capital One, Startup Virginia was launched by like-minded entrepreneurs deeply invested in advancing innovation in Central Virginia. They recognized an opportunity to create a dynamic organization to better serve the needs of entrepreneurs, investors, and the community at large.
