TractorBeam - Rural Tech Talent Accelerator is a cohort-based, virtual, talent accelerator with fellowships for both rural residents who hope to transition into tech careers and for rural community leaders who want to support the development of a tech sector in their communities.

We're currently building out the programming for our first cohort and seeking institutional partners, program partners, and mentors. There's so much good work to do.

Beyond the economic impact of rural innovation, is the social good this work will usher into these communities. There’s no doubt that limited economic opportunity has been a contributing factor in the increasing polarization, resentment, and social alienation found in many rural communities in the United States. We believe bridging opportunity gap through the active development of creatives & artists, cottage industries, microbusinesses, tech talent & skills, remote work, and innovation partnerships, will not only grow robust, sustainable rural economies, but will also go a long way toward bridging the deeply partisan political divides that stifle the growth of so many rural communities (and our country).
