"RVA's Entrepreneurial Ecosystem"

Bob Mooney
Partner, New RIchmond Ventures

RVA's business leaders aren't waiting for local governments to recognize the benefits of regionalism. They are already working on building a world class entrepreneurial ecosystem for the area

The founders of NRV include Bob Mooney, Jim Ukrop, and Ted Chandler. Each has a full and sucessful career that always included community service. Retired from their "real" jobs, Bob, Jim and Ted and the other employees of New RIchmond Ventures continue that service.

New Richmond Ventures serves as a catalyst by providing counsel, connections, and patient capital to purpose-driven entrepreneurs and the most promising early stage companies that choose to call Central Virginia their home.
