Vermont Energy Company runs a flagship store and four-pump gas station in Burlington, Vermont. The business positions itself as a sustainable alternative to traditional gas-and-convenience chains, stocking sustainable items alongside select traditional packaged goods and offering alternative and advanced fuels. The founders hope to become a leading supplier of alternative fuels and a go-to roadside brand for drivers seeking cleaner fuel options. The company operates a Good Carma program that discounts gasoline based on a vehicle’s miles-per-gallon to reward efficiency. Financially, the company recently attracted a $260,000 seed investment disclosed in an SEC filing. The business is led by co-founders Kevin and John Hartley; Kevin previously founded and sold Green Mountain Energy to BP in 2000, and the Hartleys plan to donate 20% of profits to renewable energy and efficiency causes down the line.
