Venture Winston Grants

Do you run an entrepreneurial company with the potential to shake the status quo, but without the resources to build a scalable business? Based in Winston-Salem, NC, Agile City, a pioneer in the field of business ecosystem building and entrepreneur innovation, has selected 12 companies for the 2022 session of the Venture Winston Grants program.

In addition to $50,000 non-dilutive grants focusing on the future of nutrition and agriculture, health and wellbeing, or aviation and flight, 2022 cohort companies are receiving support through Winston Starts and Flywheel’s targeted curriculum featuring lectures and learning resources specific to their needs.  Grantees are partnered with mentors from Dairy Management Inc. (DMI), Novant Health and AeroX,

“Our goal is to accelerate the pace of change in key industries,” said Agile City Founding CEO, Karen Barnes. “We are looking for radical ideas and companies with a vision to disrupt what is standard today. Sometimes the ideas seem outlandish, or cost prohibitive, but these are the kinds of big thinking that can land your company a grant to change the future.”
