The tech start-up must locate its headquarters in the county or repay $100,000 from funding that’s helped other local companies
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY -- Prince William County officials recently gave education software company Scriyb, LLC, an additional 15 months to relocate its headquarters within the county or face the prospect of repaying its $100,000 economic development grant.
Scriyb is one of at least five companies that have received $400,000 in county funds since 2016 aimed at generating economic development, but it’s the only one facing the prospect of repaying its grant. The company so far has been unable to find a suitable location for its operations.
As part of its grant, Scriyb also received matching funds from the state’s Center for Innovative Technology GAP Funds. The tech start-up, founded in 2015, is headed by Chief Executive Officer Christopher Etesse, who previously worked with several other educational technology companies.
