The U.S. Small Business Administration is thrilled to announce a second round of the Growth Accelerator Fund contest. In 2015, we will again be awarding $50,000 prizes to the winners of the contest. These funds are to be used to fund operating budgets, not for investing in start-ups in your ecosystems.
The winners of this year's contest must demonstrate the ability to raise (or have plans to raise) a 4 to 1 match of prizes awarded. This match can be in the form of cash, in-kind donations, or sponsorships.
