With a planning grant from GO Virginia Region 9, Venture Central explored how to better support the many food and beverage producers across Central Virginia. That work laid the groundwork for the resources and accelerator we’re building to help Virginia companies sell their products across the country and around the world.
Venture Central is supported by Albemarle County, the City of Charlottesville, Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation, GO Virginia, and anonymous donors.
