The Virginia Company was a joint stock company chartered by King James I of England. The Virginia Company of London successfully established the territory of Jamestown, while the Virginia Company of Plymouth was to establish a colony further north.
The Plymouth Company failed when their colony of Popham, in modern-day Maine, failed in 1608. Plymouth, Massachusetts was established by the religious separatists known as the Pilgrims after securing a land grant from Sir Edwin Sandys, a major stockholder in the failing Plymouth Company. So technically, the Virginia Company sponsored both the Jamestown and Plymouth colonies, but the latter was a bit more unofficial.
