VENTURING FORTH
Making the most of the GROW Accelerator program, four unique
businesses look to claim a share of their target markets
LAUNCHED BY TECHALLIANCE in 2019, the GROW
Accelerator program assists entrepreneurs in making the
critical leap from startup to scale-up and has just finished its
third season with an impressive cohort that is now looking to
make an impact on our innovation economy.
With globally successful alumni

upgrading solution DIBZ and freight audit and analytics
firm Orca, GROW Accelerator participants are facilitated
by TechAlliance's Venture Growth Advisory team and
mentored by serial entrepreneurs and innovators who help
these organizations flourish in our local, national and global
economies.
Welcoming startups and established businesses to
participate in a learning and growth experience, GROW
Accelerator focuses on real-life learning and networking
opportunities through weekly meetings with the expert
growth coaches. These opportunities allow for informative
conversations and a chance to share stories, challenges and
successes with likeminded entrepreneurs.
As the fall 2021 GROW Accelerator cohort completes the
program, they are preparing to launch into opportunities
to scale and succeed. The four ventures are built from local
and regional tech talent and dedicated entrepreneurs with a
knack for education and a drive for growth.
