The GROW Impact Accelerator, which is supported by AgFunder, is giving new foodtech and agtech companies a big boost as they work to address some of the most serious sustainability concerns facing the world.
The accelerator program aims to speed up the creation of a number of solutions for how we produce, process, package, transport, consume, and dispose of our food.
According to GROW, businesses succeed when its founders have access to the commercial, technical, and professional support they need to thrive. Founders should receive comprehensive support.
Founders can customize their experience within the cohort-based structure of the program by selecting from a number of thematic “streams.”
Your value proposition and company model are examined using the GROW framework to determine whether they are solid, client-centered, and scalable.
The program will connect you with customers, vendors, regulators, service providers, mentors, investors, and the media to help you GROW your business.
