Few know that Green Mountain Coffee (now Keurig Green Mountain) was started is still headquartered in Vermont. (GMC slowly acquired Keurig in the 90s, based in Massachusetts).
I have been living in VT for the last several years, and I'm pleasantly surprised by the sheer scale of unicorns this state has produced over the last 10 years: IDX (sold to GE Health for $1B+), Dealer.com (sold to Dealertrack for $1B+), and Keurig ($10B+).
Let this be an inspiration for entrepreneurs outside of Silicon Valley and other innovation hubs!
