Iowa AgriTech Accelerator encourages startups
One of our stops at Farm Progress was the Iowa AgriTech Accelerator tent. The Accelerator is a mentor-led program that searches for early-stage companies with an idea, prototype, or intellectual property for ag business and provides them with the platform, space, and support they need to elevate their business.
We visited with the program’s executive director Megan Vollstedt and two Accelerator participants–Sadoc Paredes of AgHelp and Zack James of Rabbit Tractors.
