Our 2021 Impact

2021 was a year of milestones for DEIC—our first federal prize award, our first year with more than 20 member companies, our largest accelerator cohort. We continue to be amazed by the commitment and ingenuity of the entrepreneurs we work with every day in Hanover and beyond. This report is a snapshot of a thriving community and we can’t wait to see what heights it will reach in 2022. Thanks to our sponsors, our programming partners, and to all of the entrepreneurs who are building the future of Virginia’s economy.
