Richmond Inno’s 25 Under 25

25 of the River City's brightest young innovators

By Kieran McQuilkin

One of the best ways to gauge the potential of a tech ecosystem is to take a look at a region’s youngest entrepreneurs.

From the hallways of Richmond high schools to universities, coworking spaces and incubators, the newest generation entering the workforce has more startup resources than ever – and is making good use of them.

Richmond has launched fast-growing tech companies like Wealthforge, Uzurv and Brandito, but there’s no rest for the area’s ecosystem. So to get a look at some of Central Virginia’s most accomplished young entrepreneurs, we’ve reached out through our newsletter, social media and by contacting leaders at incubators and schools for nominations. We’ve trimmed that to a list of two-dozen local innovators who are 25 years old or younger.

Here are Richmond Inno’s 25 Under 25:
