Starting off 2019 with a business and startup guide

While West Virginia has seen recent success in attracting landmark business projects, the key driver of job growth is a healthy startup and small business ecosystem. WV Forward heard from entrepreneurs and businesses across the state that an index of capital providers would help West Virginia innovators navigate funding options for their businesses.

To help fulfill that need, WV Forward researched and compiled “100 Ways to Get Startup Capital: A West Virginia Entrepreneur’s Toolkit,” which includes a variety of direct funding sources including grants, equity investors and alternative lenders.

While we hope this tool is a helpful start, we also want to improve this list in the coming months. Help us add resources to this guide Please submit additions, new funding streams or other feedback and ideas to wvforward@mail.wvu.edu. We will update the guide accordingly on our website.
