EDA Grant
Through its proven entrepreneurial educational programing and one-on-one business counseling, the New Venture Accelerator has successfully launched over 50 businesses. These businesses have received over $47 million of venture investment and have created over 370 jobs.
Based on this history of success, a recent grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration, a bureau within the U.S. Department of Commerce, has provided funding that will expand the level of programing and support services that can be offered to the local business community.
