Pioneer Connect (hybrid / remote)

Job Description

Activation Capital launched Pioneer Connect, a program designed to unite entrepreneurs, innovators, and a pipeline of commercializable technologies to increase the portfolio of durable startup life science companies in the Richmond region. This initiative seeks to (i) accelerate startup formation and (ii) create opportunities for startups to form in Richmond, whereas they otherwise might not. Pioneer Connect is designed to achieve two outcomes :

• Optimize the commercialization of regional intellectual property (IP)
• Increase the portfolio of regional life science startups to enhance the realization of key metrics, such as job creation and capital attracted.

Pioneer Connect includes a support package for startup leaders willing to locate or start companies in the Richmond area.

This incentive is implemented as an individual / employment contract service to Activation Capital – in essence, we will engage life science leaders to start a company in the region and provide deliverables and status reports as requirements to submit invoices. This is not a grant or investment.

The contract can be terminated if the leader fails to perform.

The following represent scenarios for which we think Pioneer Connect will be implemented :
