Flexible Capital Fund

Flexible Capital Fund (Flex Fund) provides financing for growth-stage companies in natural resources sectors. The Flex Fund recognizes that companies in rural areas, like Vermont, tend to be smaller and work on a less than global scale. These rural companies may need a form of “equity” to fuel growth but need it in lesser amounts and perhaps at lower returns than traditional venture capital requires. We offer Vermont financing which balances equity features and returns with the realities of Vermont’s small business environment. Technical assistance, mentoring, and access to networks go hand in hand with flexible risk capital to meet Vermont's early and growth-stage companies’ needs. The Flex Fund offers access to the CEO advisory services and a breadth of other business and leadership networks essential to the sustainable growth of a business.
