The 2nd Vermont 3.0 Creative/Tech Career Jam is scheduled for this Saturday, 10/25 at Champlain College.   The event will consist of a whole host of local company Exhibitors who are hiring for open positions, various networking opportunities, and a series of panels throughout the day.  Participants will include everything from software development to green technologies to media companies.  FreshTracks Capital will be there, both to advertise the open positions at its portfolio companies, as well as to source business plans, in case there are any budding entrepreneurs out there looking to pitch their business plan. 

Leading up to the conference, Lee Bouyea, Managing Director of FreshTracks, has been blogging on the Vermont 3.0 site about his experiences with Vermont 3.0 and the creative/tech economy here in Vermont.  To view these posts, please click below:

• VC in Vermont – Hub of Activity

• Vermont 3.0 Panel: Entrepreneurship and Raising Capital

The last post is about the panel that Lee will be moderating on Saturday.  The concept is to focus on FreshTracks’ most recent portfolio company, Draker Labs, and use it as a case study for raising capital in Vermont, with participation from the founder/entrepreneur, lawyer, incubator, angel network and venture capital fund that have been closely involved with the company over the past 9 years.

Please join us at 4 PM this Saturday for the Vermont 3.0 Panel: So you want to be your own boss?
