Impact thesis
The Kaufman Index of Entrepreneurship ranks Vermont #5 in the nation for startup activity but only #49 for scale-up activity. Equally concerning, Vermont is ranked #1 in population decline and #2 in aging in the United States, per capita. Vermont Works believes that closing the gap between #5 & #49 is the investable opportunity. The capital raised by Vermont Works will address three primary challenges faced by Vermont Startups: Lack of growth-stage equity capital, insufficient structured mentorship & talent development as well as an insular, closed-loop mentality.
