Do you know anyone between the ages of 18–30 who wants to launch a business?

The County of Annapolis is excited to share that this October we are launching the Virtual Rural Business Accelerator, a free 10-week online program designed to support youth entrepreneurs in rural areas.

We are looking for 5–7 young entrepreneurs from Annapolis County (or more!) to join.

Participants will benefit from business coaching and mentoring, peer learning opportunities, access to tools and resources and.... a chance for a small grant at the end of the program.

Program dates: October 14 – December 19, 2025
Application deadline: September 19, 2025
