Lauren Bass (Director of LaunchVT) joined Austin Davis (Government Affairs Manager) to discuss all things LaunchVT and Vermont entrepreneurship on Channel 17/Town Meeting TV.
Some highlights:
Seven businesses just completed LaunchVT’s annual ten-week intensive accelerator program where entrepreneurs in the cohort work with dedicated business coaches and strategic advisors to address their startup’s most pressing needs. Learn more about this year’s LaunchVT accelerator
Vermont is currently ranked 40th out of the states and US territories in venture capital deal flow; but that landscape is changing.
LaunchVT is a highly competitive program. Only about 10% of its applicants are accepted for the accelerator. Applications for the 2023 accelerator will open in February 2023
LaunchVT is always looking for businesses looking to support Vermont’s start-ups. If you are interested in sponsoring or providing an in-kind service, email Lauren Bass at [email protected]
