The UC Downtown Innovation Hub is open now to help business owners grow their businesses. To be eligible for the Accelerator Program, a business needs to have been in operation for more than one year, have at least one employee other than the founder, and have a minimum of $250k in revenue during the prior year. It’s nine months of core training spaced three to four weeks apart, with both online and in person sessions. The University of Charleston held the grand opening for the Downtown Innovation Hub over the summer.
