The Virginia Company accomplished its goals for the shareholders and for its settlers.

The Virginia Company did not fully accomplish its goals for the shareholders or for its settlers. The initial years of the Jamestown colony were marked by starvation, disease, and conflicts with Native Americans. It was not until the successful cultivation of tobacco in the 1620s that the Virginia Company began to turn a profit. However, even then, the shareholders were not satisfied with the returns on their investment and the company was dissolved in 1624. Additionally, the settlers themselves faced a difficult and often precarious existence in early Virginia, with mortality rates remaining high throughout the colony's early decades.
