About Us
Vectis Volunteer Growth Partners
At Vectis Volunteer Growth Partners (VVGP), we are a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, investors, and University of Tennessee alumni committed to fueling the next generation of high growth businesses. Our mission is to empower visionary founders by providing not just capital, but also hands-on operational expertise, strategic mentorship, and access to an elite network of industry leaders.
Our investment strategy is built on a dual-fund structure, allowing us to support both scalable private investments and university-driven innovation. We specialize in technology-enabled businesses, real estate, and growth-stage equity investments, ensuring that every company we back benefits from data-driven insights, operational excellence, and long-term value creation.
What makes us different? We are operator-led investors—meaning we’ve built, scaled, and managed businesses ourselves. This first-hand experience allows us to work side-by-side with entrepreneurs, helping them navigate challenges, optimize processes, and achieve sustainable success.
With a shared vision of driving economic impact and fostering innovation, VVGP is more than a venture capital firm—we are a community of builders, mentors, and strategic partners dedicated to creating lasting growth.
