"Joining the Accelerator provided an opportunity to focus on growing my business fast. The connections and lessons were specific to food and manufacturing, which is helpful and hard to find. I’m so grateful to have met the other founders. The program inspired me and I am motivated to keep going!”
Christine Friesen
Founder and Owner of Bordertown Milling
“The Awesome Accelerator program provides a really great network! Between being able to troubleshoot with my peers or making connections with leaders in industries such as logistics, finance & sustainable packaging, I felt supported in making thoughtful steps to help grow my business. The lesson topics were well presented, easy to follow but thoughtful enough that I will be able to look back at them in a few years and level up my business again. I am so proud to be a part of this network and am excited to see it grow too!”
