FOR STARTUPS BIG AND SMALL
We know the opportunity lies in who we already are. Building something new depends on relentless commitment to a vision, and West Virginians are no strangers to grit.
REDEFINING POSSIBLE STARTS HERE
While West Virginia’s natural beauty, central location, and low cost of living all make it an excellent choice for workforce development, our greatest asset by far is our people.
Home to a dynamic community of thinkers, doers, dreamers, problem-solvers, go-getters, and risk-takers, the Mountain State is a place for people with a purpose. We’re in constant search of innovative solutions, ready to roll up our sleeves, and willing to risk and fail and risk again to turn high impact ideas into reality.
What’s more, West Virginia’s tight-knit network makes it a short-ladder state where promising ideas can go fast and far. For individuals intent on building a better future for Appalachia—and the world—there’s no better place to be.
READY? LET’S REDEFINE POSSIBLE TOGETHER.

OUR LOCATION
Designed to promote collaborative thought and organic engagement, our physical location holds space for business building and co-working, and it also offers a “live experiential classroom” for students to work with startups. It builds upon WVU’s role as an R1 research institution, and, at the same time, complements the other 14 business-support entities on campus. Nearly 20 companies are set to reside in the 8,000 sq. ft. space, ranging in focus from defense contracting to biotechnology.
