Established

Six years ago today, we launched the Established brand and company on the Revolution Rise of the Rest bus tour, embodying a promise to empower and partner with innovators globally. As we celebrate this anniversary, we reflect on our journey and achievements with gratitude. Established emerged from the acquisition of Tech.co by MVF, marking the start of an exciting chapter. We rapidly became essential partners for our clients, extending their teams, devising strategies, and amplifying their missions through innovative services like website launches and communication initiatives. Our commitment to innovation flourished with the continuation and expansion of the Startup of the Year® program, hosting events in various cities and online, making entrepreneurial resources and network development more widely accessible. The pandemic tested our adaptability, prompting a shift to digital platforms where we excelled by hosting virtual events and partnering with notable organizations, including NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration iTech and American Airlines. Our work expanded into the federal sector with projects like AFWERX and the U.S. Small Business Administration, enhancing their outreach and engagement through strategic events and marketing. Established Ventures marked another stride in our commitment. It supported diverse founders and achieved successful exits, demonstrating the potential within our investments. Reflecting on these six years, we’ve surpassed the typical lifespan of consulting startups, highlighting our resilience and impact. We’re excited about the challenges and opportunities ahead as we look forward. We sincerely thank our clients, partners, and team members who have been pivotal in this journey. Here’s to continued success and impact. Cheers to six years!
