Vermont Stakes Its Claim as a Launch Pad for Aerospace Innovation
The Hula technology campus and business accelerator vertical capital fund is looking to attract start-ups in the advanced air mobility sector to Burlington, where Beta Technologies' Alia 250 eVTOL is taking shape.
As a proud Vermont native, Beta Technologies founder Kyle Clark apparently found it easy to resist the lure of Silicon Valley in 2017. That's when he established his eVTOL aircraft start-up at Burlington on the shores of Lake Champlain, which borders both New York state and the Canadian province of Quebec.
For the founders of Hula, a technology campus and business accelerator vertical capital fund, Beta is the poster child for what it believes start-ups can achieve if they buy into the Green Mountain state’s ambitions to become an aerospace hub. Part of the Beta team is based on the campus, while the company headquarters is at the nearby Burlington International Airport.
