Become a VBIA Sponsor

The Virginia Business Incubation Association (VBIA) is for those seriously interested in advancing the understanding of entrepreneurship and small business development in the Commonwealth.  To truly understand entrepreneurship and small business development, it is important to recognize that business incubation is a support process that:

• Nutures individuals who are in the pre-business startup stage;
• Supports the successful development of start-up and fledgling companies; and
• Aids in accelerating the development of entrepreneurial and small businesses by providing an array of targeted resources and services.

Your support enables VBIA to:

• Advance the awareness of best practices in business incubation and the latest trends in entrepreneurial and small business development.

• Aid production of a clearer and more influential "voice" about the business incubation process to local, regional, and state policy makers.

• Provide formal and informal learning opportunities and access to advice and technical assistance on entrepreneurship and small business development.

• Enable access to impressive stores of knowledge on entrepreneurship and small business development issues, policies, and programs.

• Meet and establish relationships with today's top leaders in entrepreneurial and small business development.

Sponsor VBIA and help make Virginia the best place to grow a business.

Sponsorships are accepted throughout the year and will run for a full 12-month period ensuring that you receive all the benefits we offer below.

Please join the VBIA team as a corporate supporter.
