This week’s entrepreneur story goes back more than 100 years! We are excited to have Sarah Morris, a fifth generation host and concierge at Basin Harbor, the historic 700-acre resort in Vergennes, Vermont.
Basin Harbor began as a working farm back in the 1800s, and in the 1920s, Sarah’s great-grandfather was inspired by the tourism boom in Miami and began to build out cottages on the beautiful Lake Champlain waterfront. Today, the resort features over 77 cottages, dining, golf, and tons of maritime activities.

This week we have Peter Miller, owner of Mini Golf on the Go and a student at the Stiller School of Business at Champlain College.
Peter is another great Vermont entrepreneur story with a miniature twist – his company designs and rents mini golf courses at any event, indoor and outdoor, complete with clubs and balls.
Peter puts his Vermont-grown woodworking skills to the test building each hole of a course on a unique 2-by-8 foot board that’s easy for his team to transport and setup anywhere.

This week we have Ryan McDevitt, co-founder and CEO of Benchmark Space Systems.
Based right here in Burlington at HULA Lakeside, Ryan is looking to go from Vermont to space with micro-satellites that will change space systems as we know it. After working at Pratt and Whitney as a jet engineer, Ryan returned to Vermont with his wife and he began working on propulsion systems at UVM. With a spark grant from the university, Ryan began to build out Benchmark.
Listen to Ryan’s vision of the future where earth jumps from a few thousand to 70,000 satellites in orbit; making up a complex system of imaging, communications, and “space-station” type satellites with refueling and clean-up crews for orbital debris.
