LaunchVT

LaunchVT is an early-stage business accelerator and annual pitch competition for Vermont-based startups. A division of the Lake Champlain Chamber, the program selects a cohort of entrepreneurs who receive intensive coaching, mentorship, and business development support over a multi-week program. The accelerator culminates in a 'Demo Night' where participants pitch to a panel of investor judges and the public to win cash prizes and in-kind professional services. Since 2013, LaunchVT has accelerated numerous Vermont startups, providing over $1 million in cash and services.
