TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS NEWS

Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation has increased the Commonwealth Commercialization Fund (CCF) grant amount to $100,000! Great news for entrepreneurs demonstrating their minimum viable product.

According to a recent Crunchbase report, startup consultant Itay Sagie found that software tech multiples are settling down from an alarming median multiple of 34 in 2021. The decline is attributed to geopolitical unrest, high interest rates, and inflation.
