The Arkansas Global Cycling Accelerator (AGCA) is a cohort-based program located in Bentonville, Arkansas, aimed at supporting pre-Series A startups that are innovating in cycling technology and components. Launched in 2025, AGCA connects ten selected companies each year from North America, Europe, and Asia with mentors, investors, and the local cycling ecosystem to foster innovation.
The program features a 10-week hybrid structure, consisting of eight weeks of virtual sessions followed by two weeks in-person in Bentonville. It focuses on accelerating product development, refining go-to-market strategies, and building industry relationships, culminating in a public Demo Day. AGCA does not take equity or provide direct funding but offers valuable access to venture capital networks and partnerships with leading cycling brands. Managed by the Startup Junkie Foundation and the University of Arkansas Office of Entrepreneurship & Innovation’s Greenhouse Outdoor Recreation Program, AGCA aims to position Bentonville as a global hub for bike technology.
