Supporting UVM’s
Student Entrepreneurs
Our Goal
The Catamount Innovation Fund is a student-run business accelerator on the University of Vermont campus. We aim to combat two challenges that student entrepreneurs face:
Capital
UVM entrepreneurs often face limited access to early-stage funding, which can make it difficult to bring their ideas to life. The Catamount Innovation Fund helps bridge that gap—providing critical financial support from multiple sources to help ventures move beyond the early hurdles and take their first steps toward building successful businesses.
Network
Young entrepreneurs often struggle to find a reliable and experienced network to guide them through the startup process. Our network of local business leaders provides the experience, insight, and support ventures need to turn vision into success.
