The Virginia Chapter of the Venture Alliance
Our Tiered Participation Subscription Model
To support this mission, we've introduced a tiered participation model to meet people where they are and invite deeper engagement over the course of time.
Our intention is to create a space where you can continue to strengthen your confidence in creating experiences that serve the Virginia community in alignment with the Legacy that Tom Farrell and others left behind.
Tier 1

Keep your eye on the ball with us.

As a Contributor or Partner in the Venture Alliance, your involvement is more than symbolic…it’s a meaningful, measurable commitment to the future we are building together.
This is not just a membership… It is a form of debt repaid in effort, aligned participation, and strategic action.
Your engagement is your investment, and in return, you gain access to an evolving infrastructure that amplifies your voice, work, and mission across a regenerative innovation economy.
Tier 4

About Us
We are a bootstrapped movement, formed through passion, trust, and aligned purpose…accelerating human-centered innovation by integrating capital, wisdom, and technology into a self-evolving ecosystem that empowers founders to build with clarity, integrity, and foresight.
Every workshop facilitated, every tool deployed, and every partnership forged through aligned opportunity strengthens our shared foundation.
The Opportunity
We’re not asking for passive membership that falls to the wayside…we’re calling for your active participation. This is a moment of co-creation… a moment to build together.
Your insight, your resources, and your presence shape the architecture of something bold, regenerative, and long overdue.
As we align around shared values, our collective funding capacity expands, transforming your return on investment and return on values into a compounding force for change through aligned impact.
This is how emerging leaders across the entrepreneurial ecosystem thrive:
when startups and SMBs collaborate to grow resilience, sector by sector.
The future we’re designing doesn’t happen without you.
