Helping founders find community and connections
The purpose of the Benedict College Statewide Investment Accelerator is to help our portfolio companies achieve the necessary traction and growth to successfully enter the seed financing stage.
ACRE partnered with Matson Consulting, an agribusiness consulting firm in Aiken, in order to produce a comprehensive guide to agribusiness grants and a matching funds guide. Matson Consulting has helped ACRE entrepreneurs apply for Value-Added Producer Grants (VAPG), Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) grants, and others. When you are awarded funding or accepted into the curriculum you get access to Matson Consulting.
