Propel Business Lab is a 12 week business accelerator program for emerging entrepreneurs of various experience levels focused on the particular challenges of doing business in the region, developed by the Palmetto Innovation Center in partnership with USC Salkehatchie's Leadership Institute. The program will host business development lessons alongside technology centric workshops with a focus on Barnwell and Allendale businesses with classes hosted at the Palmetto Innovation Center in Barnwell or the Allendale campus of USC Salkehatchie. 

This application process is for the second session, which will host a cohort of up to 20 participants at each site in weekly sessions for 3 months (12 weeks). After completing these sessions, participants will have the opportunity to compete in a pitch competition for a $10,000 grant for their business! Each participant will then have 6 months of follow up with one-on-one mentoring structured for the needs of their business.
