Founder to VC: The Breadth of Venture Capital with Aidan Kittredge

​Aidan helps early-stage startups turn ideas into impact through structured acceleration, mentorship, and capital connections. As Program Manager at the Techstars Boston Accelerator, one of the most active pre-seed investors globally, she has directly supported 150+ founders as they refine their vision, achieve product-market fit, and navigate the challenges of scaling throughout the program’s intensive three-month experience.

​She is deeply motivated by fostering community within Boston’s vibrant innovation ecosystem and is known as a “super-connector,” bringing together founders, investors, operators, and resources at the right moments to create momentum. Beyond Techstars, Aidan runs an investor-only networking group, VC Village (https://www.vcvillage.co/), strengthening relationships and collaboration across the venture community in the U.S.
