Do you have the next big idea that could transform our food, fiber or fuel production system? AgLaunch, a nonprofit that provides entrepreneurial support and specializes in ag innovation, is now accepting applications for its AgLaunch365 Accelerator + Farm Trial Program.
AgLaunch365 is a one-of-a-kind, farm-immersive business development experience for startups with a product or service that has the potential to be transformative in production agriculture. The accelerator offers three key benefits to participants:
AgLaunch365 is like no other accelerator experience because early in the process farmers help review, select, trial and invest in new technologies that offer real solutions to some of the most pressing problems in agriculture.
Startups selected to participate in the AgLaunch365 Accelerator focus on product and business development in a multiphase approach over a two-year period. The experience kicks off with a six-week business development session that includes farmer input and interaction with industry leaders and investors on go-to-market strategy, product development in farm trials and fundraising. After the accelerator, startups are ready to implement farm trials with AgLaunch’s farmer network and farm-trial platform across five regions that include the Mid-South, Southern Appalachia, the Southern Plains, the Mid-West and Northwest. Startups will be paired with farmers to trial their technologies on-farm, giving them the early ability to test, refine, and retest.
