Great roundup of opportunities for Virginia founders. Thank you for pulling these together, Debbie Irwin. As someone who works with early- and growth-stage companies, I'd add one piece of advice: don't wait until you're selected to get investor-ready. Whether you're entering a pitch competition, preparing for due diligence, or planning your next funding round, having a solid financial story, realistic forecasts, and meaningful KPIs can make all the difference. Best of luck to all of the founders applying—I look forward to seeing Virginia's innovation ecosystem continue to grow. #VirginiaStartups #Founders #StartupGrowth #StrategicFinance #FractionalCFO
