Venture Development

In our role as an ecosystem development organization, we support entrepreneur support organizations (ESOs) including the VCU Entrepreneurship Academy and diversity, equity and inclusion capacity building through our partnership with the Opportunity Hub.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Capacity Building

Through partnerships with outside organizations, Activation Capital’s goal is to increase the visibility of entrepreneurship as a viable career path through programming and access to a number of resources.  We also plan to design additional support for growth-stage companies past the seed round.
