🎉 Please join us in welcoming our newest board member, Gregg L. Burt! We are thrilled to have your innovation, leadership, and heart for service guiding our mission.⁠

Gregg brings decades of executive experience in the energy sector, successful entrepreneurship, and venture capital. After leading multiple start-ups to successful exits and founding Vitesse Capital Partners, a self-funded PE firm, Gregg continues to be a champion for early-stage companies and community-driven impact.⁠

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gregg and his son founded @plusboxcares , a nonprofit that has now provided over a million free, nutrition-rich meals to families through school partnerships. His passion for healthy food access aligns perfectly with our work, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have him on board! 💚🥕
