Founded in 1996, Virginia Capital Partners is one of the oldest venture capital and private equity firms in Virginia. With a twenty-year remaining fund life on Virginia Capital Partners' fund, our portfolio companies have the luxury of a partner with an indefinite investment hold period. Unlike traditional venture capital or private equity funds, which have a three-to-five year investment period, followed by a short "wind down" period; Virginia Capital Partners' investment is essentially permanent capital. As a result, Virginia Capital enables our portfolio companies to take the necessary time to build and grow their businesses without pressure to seek a liquidity event because of a constraint imposed by their investment partners. Virginia Capital Partners has no such constraints.

Virginia Capital Partners is also differentiated from traditional venture capital or private equity firms because of our reliance on our own professionals to complete our due diligence assessment. We don't use outside advisors or consultants. So, unlike many venture capital firms, Virginia Capital Partners professionals perform all of our assessment work. We believe our model ensures prompt response and guarantees confidentiality.
