MadeInVT Founding Makers
Help Build the Guide to Vermont
We’re inviting a small group of local businesses to help shape MadeInVT from the beginning.
What it is
A local support program for early growth
MadeInVT is a locally built maker publication. Founding Makers help support early growth, with the goal of better stories, better visibility, and better tools for local studios.
We’re building MadeInVT with the same care we want to bring to every maker and studio we feature.
Founding Makers help fund the first stages of that work and stay close to the product while it grows.
What partners receive
A practical early-support package
Founding Makers get useful visibility and a closer connection to the product as it develops.
Founding Maker badge
A visible marker that shows early support without changing editorial standards.
Featured partner section
A dedicated area for early supporters inside the partner experience.
Events and deals
A practical place to surface timely offers, events, and seasonal announcements.
Partner insights
Early reporting on engagement, interest, and content interactions.
Early access to new tools
Get a first look at new partner utilities as MadeInVT grows.
Input into the platform
Help shape the tools and workflows that matter to local businesses.
What partners do not buy
Editorial integrity stays in place
The founding offer supports growth, but it does not change how MadeInVT reports or recommends.
- Editorial recommendations are not for sale.
- Verification cannot be bought.
- Search ranking is not guaranteed.
- MadeInVT Recommended is earned through trust, not payment.
