The first cohort of 10 startups is underway in Venture Asheville’s Elevate program to strengthen and support high-growth ventures, with the goal of reaching 50 startups in the program over the next two years.
Like Asheville Angels, our angel investor network, Elevate is a core component of Venture Asheville’s value proposition for locally-based, high-potential entrepreneurs building scalable ventures. We aim to connect them to a growing startup community, to talent to build their ventures, to mentors to advise them, to investors to fund them and to flex office space (see article above) to scale and expand their ventures surrounded by like-minded teams and colleagues.
Meet the high-growth startups selected for Elevate. Applications for the next class of 10 startups will open this spring.
