The Virginia Velocity Tour

Virginia is for entrepreneurs.

Across the Commonwealth, cities and communities are coming together to support entrepreneurs and the businesses they create. The Virginia Velocity Tour will shed a bright spotlight on the Commonwealth’s entrepreneurs and the great ideas that are spurring Virginia's entrepreneurial ecosystem.

We hope that entrepreneurs will make connections that help them grow; investors will find the next great deal in their own backyard country; and leaders across the Commonwealth will about how to best support the innovators of the future.

We look forward to seeing you on the road!
