About
Accelerate Montana's Rural Innovation Initiative (A.M.R.I.I.) supports entrepreneurial development across Montana's underserved rural and indigenous communities. Based in Bozeman, the organization provides coaching, innovation support, and venture creation assistance to early-stage founders who have historically been overlooked by traditional venture capital markets. The program addresses a critical gap in Montana's startup ecosystem by bringing structured entrepreneurial resources and mentorship to regions outside major tech hubs. As Montana's venture capital landscape expands—with firms increasingly recognizing quality deal flow and founder talent in the state—A.M.R.I.I. plays a vital role in identifying and nurturing the next generation of Montana-based entrepreneurs.
