Companies & Innovators

Got a business product, technology, or innovative concept waiting to become the “next big thing”?

Are you seeking

  • equity capital to fund your start-up
  • access to Vermont’s entrepreneurial and investment communities
  • excellent business coaching
  • the opportunity to pitch your company to an invitation-only group of angel, institutional and venture capital investors, at Vermont’s premier VC event?

The Vermont Investors Forum (VIF) will be looking for unique growth companies throughout New England to present executive summary style pitches at the 20th Annual Forum in October, 2012.  The application process will begin in summer 2012. Stay tuned!

VIF brings together the best of Vermont’s entrepreneurial and investment communities.  We’re responsible for millions of dollars in raised investment capital, strategic consulting and board relationships, and the tools and resources you’ll need to transition from start-up to profitable company.  Display opportunities allow representatives of your company to meet with investors and answer questions in an informal setting.

VIF presenters are a select group.  One out of every three applicants is chosen, then paired with coaches who help to refine each presentation for maximum effectiveness.  Preparation culminates in a dry-run pitch to the VIF committee prior to the Forum.

Ready to get started?  Contact VIF for more information at 802-658-7830 or info@vermontinvestorsforum.com.

Too early to formally pitch your product?

The Innovators’ Corner features earlier-stage products and business concepts not quite ready for formal presentation.

Selected Innovators will present a 3-minute pitch, and receive entrance fee for one, display space, continental breakfast, and lunch. Fee: $95.
