Rooted in Purpose,
Built for Growth

We are a private nonprofit Entrepreneurial Support Organization dedicated to building high-performing business networks, fostering strategic partnerships, empowering entrepreneurs to help community growth for purpose driven results across the Southeastern region and beyond.

At AGC, we are actively working to build solidarity economy initiatives with organizations and businesses throughout the community. We believe that real economic power begins at the local level — and that when entrepreneurs and community members unite around shared goals, transformative results follow.

"We empower our members to invest in their professional development while contributing their time, talent, and capital toward building thriving, globally connected businesses and communities."

AGC operates under Our Pipeline Incorporated as a 501(c)(6) trade and professional association. We are funded through membership dues, conference fees, sponsorships, and products & services — ensuring our mission remains member-driven and community-centered.
