Looking for mentoring, funding, or business connections?
The Vermont Venture Network (VVN) offers a one-stop calendar featuring events that support and connect participants across Vermont’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
With so many organizations contributing to the growth of Vermont’s startup community, it can be challenging to know where to begin. Our curated calendar highlights educational, inspirational, and networking events designed to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas among entrepreneurs, investors, service providers, and other key stakeholders.
From 1989 to 2015, VVN hosted a monthly forum that brought together voices from Vermont’s business community. These gatherings featured industry speakers and attracted a diverse audience—including founders, investors, consultants, job seekers, and representatives from government and support organizations. While VVN was once unique in its offerings, today entrepreneurs benefit from a rich and growing landscape of meetups, conferences, and workshops.
Although our forums are currently on hiatus, VVN continues to support the ecosystem through our robust, up-to-date event calendar—developed in alignment with the Business Accelerator Roadmap.

Some of the many sponsors and partners supporting VVN over the years:
"VVN is the premier networking event for entrepreneurial businesses in northern Vermont. FreshTracks Capital has been a longtime sponsor of the Vermont Venture Network due to the compelling and informative series of speakers, as well as the valuable business connections that my partners and I have established through the network. VVN is a vital resource for business owners and job seekers, and an integral piece of the entrepreneurial economy of Vermont."
