USAgNet - 05/22/2018

Land O'Lakes, Inc. is accepting applications for its second annual Dairy Accelerator program. The initiative provides support and mentorship to food entrepreneurs who want to grow and drive innovation in the dairy products space.

"The inaugural Land O'Lakes Dairy Accelerator was a tremendous success in our eyes. We were thrilled to share our knowledge and expertise with the five participating companies and, in turn, learned equally as much from them, especially about the importance of creativity and agility in innovation today," said Raquel Melo, vice president of Innovation and New Business Development at Land O'Lakes, Inc.

Coordinators of the program are looking for entrepreneurs who are passionate about moving their companies to the next level. Applicants must utilize dairy as a primary ingredient but can use any aspect of dairy including but not limited to yogurt, cheese, whey or other milk-based proteins or ingredients.

Selected participants will receive a $25,000 stipend in order to attend, and contribute to the three-month accelerator program in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. The accelerator program will provide mentorship and seminars that focus on several areas, including finance, brand building, manufacturing, sales and leadership development. At the conclusion of the program, participants will be able to present their proposals and new business ideas to Land O'Lakes, Inc. leadership.

The deadline to apply for the program is June 29. For more information, go to: www.dairyaccelerator.landolakesinc.com.
