“My experience at UpTech was invaluable. My company has since gone on to raise over $1MM and we successfully did that as a result of UpTech. We met our investors there, I met my co-founder there, and they taught me everything I needed to know to make my start-up successful.”

- Christi Brown, Founder, iReportSource

Kentucky has a proud history of distilling that created the world-renowned spirit of bourbon.  As a Kentucky-based accelerator, we wouldn’t be representing very well without having bourbon within our halls.   Problem solved.

We’re proud to have New Riff Distillery as our official distilling partner.
