Join SEDCOR and Aglaunch at Cultivate Northwest in May 2023, a startup bootcamp for ag-focused startups.

AgLaunch, a Memphis, Tenn., based organization, runs an agtech accelerator called AgLaunch365 that has a unique, farm-centric innovation model. The accelerator runs bootcamps that are designed for entrepreneurs who are early in their business formation. The bootcamps are a course in business fundamentals and training on innovation within the ag industry. The goal of the program is to support early-stage agriculture startups and prepare them for follow-on programming and resources offered by AgLaunch or AgLaunch partners. SEDCOR and AgLaunch were recently awarded a five-year contract from the Small Business Administration to establish a Regional Innovation Cluster in Oregon around agriculture and technology and this event kicks off the programming for that cluster.

We are seeking early-stage ag startups in Oregon and any innovators with a novel idea they believe will bring value to Oregon’s Ag Supply Chain.
