Ag Startup Engine was founded to support early-stage ag-tech entrepreneurs and drive innovation in Iowa and beyond. They know that reaching the point where you're ready for outside investment can take time, and sometimes, you need a little help along the way. While they are always open to mentoring and advising early-stage founders, they recognize that a bit of capital can make a big difference in your journey.

That's where the Cultivator Grant Program comes in. Funded by Ag Startup Engine, this program is designed to empower agriculture and food startups with grants of up to $2,000, giving you the boost needed to move your ideas forward.


Imagine having the resources to create a prototype that brings your solution to life or test out assumptions with customers to refine your vision. The Cultivator Grant enables exactly that. And the best part? This funding is non-dilutive,so you retain 100% ownership of your idea. Learn more here!
