RVA757 Connects’ Innovation Spotlight webinar on Activation Capital and Startup Virginia

Join us for a webinar on Wednesday January 7 at noon to learn how Activation Capital and Startup Virginia are working to strengthen entrepreneurship and support founders across the Metro Richmond region.

Activation Capital’s new President and CEO, Mike Steele, will share his vision for the organization’s next phase. Steele, who stepped into the role in August, will outline how Activation Capital plans to grow its programming, support even more entrepreneurs, and expand its impact across the Commonwealth.

Startup Virginia Executive Director Richard Wintsch will talk about how the organization is scaling its incubator programming, strengthening access to capital, and launching a second location in Henrico County. Backed by a $1.47 million GO Virginia grant, along with significant investments from the Henrico Economic Development Authority, Richmond Economic Development, and key corporate partners, Startup Virginia is building clearer, stage-specific pathways to help entrepreneurs move from idea to scale, including new initiatives tied to the forthcoming Henrico Innovation Hub.
Together, Steele and Wintsch will explore how their organizations complement one another and why a more coordinated regional approach matters now more than ever.

The hour-long webinar is free, but registration is required.
