To be eligible, startups must demonstrate existing need for improved connectivity and show a clear plan for digital integration. Unlike North Carolina programs, South Carolina requires applicants to document specific cost burdens related to current internet services. South Carolina's unique blend of urban research centers and rural business corridors creates distinct funding priorities.
