We work with Food & AgTech entrepreneurs of all stages in the Southern Appalachian region to provide mentorship, bootcamp programming, direct technical assistance, and serve as an entry point for the AgLaunch365 Accelerator, which is a specialized program that supports farmer-selected agtech start-ups with business development training, potential equity investment and customer acquisition opportunities, and sophisticated on-farm trials.
Our Cultivate Appalachia Bootcamp, first held in 2022, is a combination of entrepreneurial and agricultural training, mentorship, information, and insight on regional challenges, opportunities, and resources.
The next Cultivate Appalachia Bootcamp will be held in Knoxville, TN on June 11-13, 2024. Learn more about Cultivate Appalachia and AgLaunch’s other entrepreneurial programming here. Apply online by May 17, 2024 here.
