Empowering Innovation. Fueling Growth. Transforming Communities.
Welcome to Accelerate Augusta
Accelerate Augusta is the premier accelerator and incubator dedicated to fueling small business growth and entrepreneurial success throughout Augusta, GA and the surrounding CSRA region. Through expert-led programs, funding access, strategic mentorship, and community partnerships, we’re building a more inclusive, innovative, and economically vibrant future—starting here, at home.
Created through a visionary collaboration between the Augusta Downtown Development Authority and Augusta Technical College and powered by the generous founding support of SRP Federal Credit Union and Georgia Senators, Accelerate Augusta is the hub where big ideas take root and thrive.
Regional Impact
Accelerate Augusta proudly serves not only Augusta, but our surrounding communities in Aiken, Burke, Columbia, and Richmond Counties to name a few. We collaborate with local chambers, minority business alliances, and civic leaders to ensure our reach includes students and professionals considering entrepreneurship, rural entrepreneurs, underserved founders, nonprofits, and legacy small business owners looking to innovate and grow for the future. Our ecosystem is designed to elevate the region – not just the city.
