What People Have to Say

“There are several pitfalls startups face: from raising funds, planning business strategy, networking, and marketing but for us to manage these hurdles we need VCs to invest with conviction. Investors that fund and advise through these trials and tribulations. It’s been our experience that VCET has gone above and beyond to provide us with these resources.”

Jasmine & Ryan Farrell

Co-Founders, ZestBloom

“I joined VCET just a few weeks after moving to the Burlington area, and was immediately wowed by the level of support and community I found here. As a founder and small business owner from out-of-state, I leaned heavily on VCET’s founder community to find my bearings in a new city, while their startup advisors plugged me into the best resources that Vermont has to offer. If you are a founder in the Burlington area, I highly recommend checking out what VCET has on tap.”

Harry Dubke

Co-founder / CTO, Cortado

“VCET is the heart of startups in Vermont. They’ve had our back since day one and have been a consistent source of wisdom and strength for us in the many years since.”
