A 12-week accelerator with business development lessons, technology workshops, and 6 months of mentoring for emerging regional entrepreneurs in South Carolina, culminating in a pitch competition for a $5,000 grant opportunity for eligible businesses with measurable local impact ($100 fee applies). Fee is $100 per accepted participant; investment is not guaranteed funding upon admission and rests on pitch competition awards, thus general investment is not baseline-guaranteed upon admission and cohort size is 20 per site location.
