Founded in 2015, GrowthX has operated its Market Acceleration Program (MXP) exclusively for portfolio companies.
“Innovation Depot is the perfect partner for GrowthX, as we both share the core belief that entrepreneurism can fuel the local and regional economy and create jobs when capital is combined with go-to-market expertise,” Andrew Goldner, CEO and a founding partner of GrowthX, said.
Kellie Clark, Innovation Depot’s director of programs, said GrowthX will “provide invaluable mentorship.”
“We believe that the highly structured, educational materials and strategies provided by GrowthX’s MXP Online will be an immense value add for the founders in our program,” Clark said.
