LaunchVT provides early-stage acceleration programs, resources, and capital for businesses to prep, launch and soar in Vermont.
LaunchVT
Accelerates the development of the 8 best-emerging startups in Vermont by connecting them with each other, advisors, service providers, investors, and direct business development support.
LaunchVT provides intensive mentorship and business acceleration services to cohorts of eight entrepreneurs. The program runs from mid-April to mid-June and features a Demo Day where we award $35,000 in cash and over $100,000 in services.
All eight members of the cohort receive mentorship specific to the needs of their businesses and participate in office hours, peer strategy sessions, focused trainings, pitch prep workshops, and investor events. Each member of the cohort will leave the accelerator with a refined and polished pitch deck, a Launch Report (executive summary), and extensive connections to local founders, advisors, investors, and service providers.
In selecting our cohort and awarding cash and services, we look for:
-Viability: Quality of the product, business model and team
-Scalability: Market opportunity and revenue growth potential
-Impact: Job creation and positive economic impact on VT
REACT
The REACT (Regional Entrepreneurship Acceleration Curriculum & Training) program is designed to support WorkSpaces and Organizations in their efforts to empower entrepreneurs in their communities. REACT provides business development curriculum and program support to regional partners across Vermont. Through a partnership with Co.Starters, LaunchVT will work with a network of regional organizations to launch nine-week comprehensive business support programs. The REACT program was modeled after a successful pilot collaboration with Generator called JUMP/START. LaunchVT has a state-wide license for the Co.Starters curriculum, and will provide curriculum materials, facilitator training, program support, and facilitator network.
