Investment thesis
The Dudley Fund seeks healthy financial returns for its investors while advancing economic opportunity in Vermont. It backs entrepreneurs who create jobs, attract and retain talent, expand the tax base, and generate investable wealth. The fund invests early, writing a founder's first or last check and participating in later rounds for companies that engage its mentors and demonstrate the ability to scale and create impact. It offers equity financing structured for a return within roughly ten years, and connects portfolio companies to a network of about 75 successful Vermont business leaders and access to growth-stage funding. Community and economic impact are required considerations in its process.
