FreshTracks Capital, L.P. in Middlebury has finished raising money for an early-stage venture capital fund with access to $20 million for investment primarily in Vermont companies and occasionally in other parts of the Northeast. Charlie Kireker and Cairn Cross, two established venture finance professionals, manage the fund. Village Ventures provides FreshTracks access to its national network of funding sources, and human and financial support services. Village Ventures has attracted $100 million in capital to support the fund network and is a potential source of later-stage financing for portfolio companies.
