We’re excited to share that Square One Startup School has been selected as a 2025 U.S. SBA Growth Accelerator Fund Competition Award recipient, receiving federal funding to launch our newest initiative: Spark The Southeast 🔥

This win isn’t just ours—it’s for early-stage tech founders and first-time angel investors across the Southeast. ⚡

With Spark The Southeast, we’re:

✅ Unlocking more early-stage capital for overlooked founders
✅ Training pre-seed startups to become capital-ready
✅ Supporting new angel investors with education and cash rebates to deploy capital locally

The goal? Keep great companies headquartered, funded, and growing in the Southeast—not forced to leave the region to survive
