Bold Growth is a terrific opportunity for high growth companies to access tailored mentorship from corporate experts within and beyond the MBOLD coalition focused on the issues most important to your company's future success.
Join Bold Growth program leaders in our virtual information session on Thursday, November 21st, 2024 from 12:30-1:30 pm CST to learn more about this opportunity and get your questions answered.
Bold Growth is targeted to post-accelerator companies with annual revenue of $5 million - $50 million and strong potential for growth. Applicants should be headquartered in Minnesota or have significant operations in Minnesota.
Bold Growth is interested in companies that address climate and sustainability concerns, with a focus on the sustainability of meat, dairy, or plant and alternative proteins. We particularly welcome companies that are scaling up products or technologies in the following areas (as MBOLD members and partners are, ourselves, collaborating to drive innovation for these high priority protein ingredients):
- Plant proteins including oats, dry beans and chickpeas
- Innovative ingredients for inclusion in animal feed including winter camelina and industrial hemp, new opportunities for alfalfa, and the production and use of insects in feed rations.
Companies with diverse leadership are especially encouraged to apply. Bold Growth Minnesota is managed by MBOLD in collaboration with Naturally Minnesota and AURI with support from MN DEED and MBOLD members.
