What People Have to Say

Jasmine & Ryan Farrell

“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.”

Co-Founders, ZestBloom

Stacy Huffstetler

“VCET seemed like the space to grow my business in Burlington. Moving from Philly to a smaller city had lots of appeal from a personal point of view but was a tough sell professionally. Having a resource like VCET gave me (and the other partners at Widget Brain) confidence that it would work.”

Founding Partner, Widget Brain

Andy Rossmeissl
