Dairy Farmers of America announces 2019 accelerator program
With the DFA Accelerator, the ag tech and dairy food product companies selected will receive mentorship, connections and resources to help accelerate their growth.
Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), Kansas City, Kan., announced the companies participating in the 2019 DFA Accelerator program. These seven companies will engage in a 90-day immersive program and work directly with leaders from DFA, CoBank, Greenwood Village, Colo.; Sprint, Overland Park, Kan.; and other industry experts and mentors to create strategic, long-term partnerships.
“It has been rewarding to help mentor these entrepreneurs, and we’re thrilled to get started with another class for this year’s DFA Accelerator. Plus, we’ve found that we learn along the way too,” says Monica Massey, executive vice president and chief of staff. “By working and collaborating with ag tech and dairy food startup companies, we’re helping develop solutions that will not only provide value for our farm families and their operations, but will also help drive consumer demand for dairy.”
