Stage2 Business Accelerator Takes Your Business to Market

In the life of a growing company, the first business stage is developing an idea into a product or service you can commercialize. The second stage is turning that product or service into a marketable entity. The Stage2 Business Accelerator takes new companies through the second stage, providing rapidly growing organizations with marketable products the resources they need to succeed in business.

Our model is simple. In addition to physical space and office communications, companies accepted into the accelerator contract with the Stage2 Business Accelerator to complete an individually defined "36-month Business Roadmap to Success" program. In addition to that program, a third element is very important to the success of young companies - development of an active Advisory Board. We partner with leading executive organizations in Georgia to develop an Advisory Board with you that will provide member companies with constructive and practical consultative support to grow your business.

In addition to offering growth opportunities to its member companies, Stage2 offers growth opportunities for the community. We seek young high-growth-potential companies capable of creating strong jobs within our community, primarily in Financial Services, Health Sciences, BioPharma, Information Security and other business sectors. By integrating stronger businesses into a community's infrastructure, our member companies provide jobs while increasing contributions to the local economy. This is while enhancing our local "Live, Work, Play" environment. Companies successfully completing the Stage2 program move through the 3rd, 4th and 5th stages of business growth - marketing and sales, infrastructure and scale and growth and profits easily with a sustainable business model.

That is the Stage2 Business Accelerator. If you have a product or idea that's ready to go to the next stage, contact us at the Stage2 Business Accelerator for a free consultation.
