Thanks to the South Carolina tourism industry, business is booming in the state. Charleston, Hilton Head, and Myrtle Beach are some of the nation’s biggest beach towns. Other businesses thrive in South Carolina as well. The state’s large manufacturing sector sits at the top of its list of the highest-earning industries.
South Carolina is a great choice for businesses looking to get off the ground. Several accelerator and incubator programs in the state provide support for businesses that are new or expanding.
This incubator places its focus exclusively on non-technical companies. They help founders take their business from the first napkin sketch to being fully funded and launched. The program is fully remote, making it easy for founders to make use of.
The Harbor Accelerator program guides entrepreneurs through a curriculum of 14 topics. Above and beyond the curriculum, founders receive hands-on mentorship from some of South Carolina’s most successful entrepreneurs.
Through their SC Launch program, the South Carolina Research Authority offers startup founders mentorship, access to a network of experts, and help with grants. Eligible companies may also receive an investment from SC Launch.
