“The staff uses professionalism and goes out of their way to make sure that I understand everything so that I leave with a clear mind, and nothing left on the table.  The knowledge they provide has been immensely helpful,” 

- Felicia Bailey, C&C Lawn Service Care, LLC


"I so appreciate the time that APEX Accelerator Counselor Tim Hicks took to help me win my first government contract and that he did not make me feel like I was asking too much. I knew nothing about how to do this, so I genuinely would not have this job had it not been for him and I am just so grateful. Thank you all and especially thank you Tim Hicks."

- Rhonda Hernandez, Park/Gate Attendant

“Kimberly knew how emotionally stressful this process was for me. She was instrumental in guiding me through the 8(a) social narrative process in order for me to not only communicate myself professionally, but personally as well.  I do not think that I could have done it without her,” Christensen said.

“Arkansas APEX Accelerator has played a key role in helping me gain the know-how, capability, and capacity to go after a wider range of contract opportunities, which has allowed my business to continue to grow and prosper. I encourage others to take advantage of Arkansas APEX Accelerator services, all at no cost, and to not overlook the potential benefits that government contracting offers small businesses.”

“We are beyond excited about our potential growth in the Arkansas and surrounding markets.  The local APEX Accelerator has been so instrumental in helping us through this successful growth plan.  Without them, we would not have been able to navigate the process involved with securing the contract at all,”

“Working with APEX Accelerator  mentors Tim Hicks and Kenneth Griffin has been a transformative experience in my journey as a new government contractor. From the very beginning, they walked with me step by step - offering hands-on and virtual support that was not only informative but empowering. Their guidance and encouragement played a key role in helping me secure my first state contract with Arkansas Rehabilitation Services. Without their support, I know it would have taken me years to understand the complexity of government contracting on my own. What truly sets APEX Accelerator apart is the depth of their mentorship. Tim (Hicks) and Kenneth (Griffin) did not just share information, they invested time, attention, and factual knowledge to ensure I was set up for success. They also introduced me to valuable local networking opportunities, which led me to join the Venture Center. Networking (at the Venture Center) has been an excellent practice for me as a startup founder.”
