We are thrilled to share that Ag Assist has been selected as one of 13 innovative start-ups to join the Spring24 Sprout Accelerator cohort. This exciting opportunity will allow us to refine our vision, enhance our impact, and continue supporting rural communities through relieving the stress of labour recruitment.
Over the coming months, Tony Dodunski (CEO) and Rebecca Cardy (General Manager) will embark on the intensive programme. Attending a blend of online discussions and in-person events with hands-on workshops. Access to knowledgeable mentors and industry experts, accustomed to the challenges and opportunities of a start-up, will help Ag Assist in becoming equipped to scale up and make a lasting impact on the food and fibre sector. The accelerator programme will culminate in an online showcase, where the refined vision for Ag Assist will be presented to a diverse audience, including customers, investors, and industry leaders.
Reflecting on the competitive selection process, Chelsea Hirst, Head of Acceleration and Engagement, commented, “I am always in awe of the incredible people we hear from through the Sprout Accelerator application process and impressed by their determination to turn their venture into real-world impact. Selecting a cohort is getting tougher each time due to the high calibre of talent, which means selection is increasingly competitive. The Spring24 Cohort is full of committed founders, and we are excited to get the Sprout Accelerator underway to see how they progress..”
The program emphasizes strategic growth, helping us prioritize the activities that will maximize the value of Ag Assist. Challenging our big picture thinking to maintain effectiveness and functionality well into the future.
“We are very fortunate to be a part of the cohort this Spring. The quality of the people involved in the programme, from organisers to mentors is fantastic. We cannot wait to see what the next few months will bring for Ag Assist.”
- Tony Dodunski, Ag Assist CEO & Founder
