There are plenty of business incubator programs out there - What makes AgStart so special?
For starters, we don't take equity. We're a membership-based fee-for-service program and we make things happen with the help of our generous sponsors and from grant funding.
We offer unparalleled access to the agricultural resources of the region. The Sacramento Valley produces several billion dollars in farmgate value drawn from 300+ different crops. Yolo County alone is home to both AgStart and UC Davis as well as every major seed breeding and research company in the world.
Everyone on our team is genuinely here to help clients make it to the next level. Our deep mentor network consists of highly-talented folks who specialize in all aspects of business. Mentorship for Levels 2 and 3 typically would not exceed 10 hours over 3 months, with access to two or more mentors as needed. Level 4 members enjoy a higher level of mentor access and time.
Contact us to visit our newly-renovated incubator space in beautiful Downtown Woodland.
We're down the block from:
-Multiple coffee shops
-A Microbrewery
-Award-winning restaurants

What Our Members Are Saying
Being a member of AgStart has taught me so much about the resilience of entrepreneurs. And I'm constantly impressed with AgStart's connection to agriculture and ag end-users.
