The Perfect Launching Pad

You have an idea. A problem you want to solve. A solution with real business potential. Now you just need to know how to get it up and running, right? You’re in the right place.

Savannah is an open collaborative inclusive community with an active engaged community so whatever your size, we can connect you with resources tailored to provide the assistance you need.

SEDA, in partnership with Startup Savannah, supports both early and growth-stage companies. Those companies in the earlier phases of business will benefit greatly from Startup Savannah’s and its offering of education and connection programs geared toward the entrepreneurial, technology and creative community of the Savannah region.

Later growth-stage companies are better suited for the expertise of SEDA; however, the synergy between Startup Savannah and SEDA is hard at work for companies of all sizes on a daily basis.

In July 2019, The Creative Coast received a federal grant from the Economic Development Administration to help lay the groundwork for a partnership with Bluffton, S.C.’s Center for Innovation to fund and grow technology-driven startups in the region. The $300,000 grant, along with matched local fundraising, will fund the launch, marketing and management of The Bridge Fund, a $2-$10 million seed fund with the goal to make 30 small seed investments.

In the Spring 2018, Savannah was named the state’s Logistics Technology Corridor. The goal of a corridor is to activate economic development by creating a cluster of logistic tech related companies in a region.
