TEC/NVTC Membership

At NVTC we recognize that many early stage technology companies do not have the resources to afford and take full advantage of their NVTC membership. For this reason, NVTC has established a membership for these companies under The Entrepreneur Center @NVTC. As a startup member of NVTC, a technology company will have the opportunity to be mentored, given advice and educated by successful entrepreneurs and experts in the technology community, while still taking advantage of many of the same benefits as other companies who are members of NVTC. The annual investment for a startup membership is $300 for companies and $50 for college students.

You may qualify for NVTC's startup membership if:

• You are considered a "technology" company under NVTC membership guidelines. (A technology company is defined as an entity which derives over 50% of its gross revenue, as certified by its Chief Financial Officer, from the research, development, manufacturing or distribution of products which use or embody technology and from technical services directly relating to technology business.)
• You have been in business for less than 3 years.
• You have less than 9 employees in the VA, MD, DC region.
• You have not received institutional funding.

All applications will be reviewed by a membership sub-committee of the Entrepreneur Center to determine eligibility.
