MAVA: More Than Venture
For 35 years The Mid-Atlantic Venture Association – or MAVA – has been the East Coast hub for bringing together capital sources, business leaders, news makers, and company builders working across tech. Founded by some of industry’s leading and emerging investment firms and business titans, the organization has a long history as an industry pioneer and trailblazer, having served as catalyst for building entrepreneurial ecosystems across the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond, and by steadfastly supporting innovation and private company growth.
Our collective success comes from a collaborative approach as well as our relationship with our one-of-its-kind market we call home, which is highlighted by:
A diverse community of world class private financial institutions making capital investments around the globe and close to home;
Global company builders and market leaders;
A business environment conducive to entrepreneurial and commercial growth;
And serving as a unique gateway for international and federal commercial engagement that comes from our unique proximity to the US federal government and international partners in Washington.
