The starting point

Entered a mid-size market already served by a few generalist sharpeners, with no existing customer base of its own.

Why this market matters

Knoxville's roughly 190,000 residents and strong food-and-outdoors culture support two very different customer segments at once. Back 2 Sharp built for both rather than picking one.

Market size: ~190,700 people

Back 2 Sharp was built the same way every Accelerator member builds — starting a knife sharpening business from the ground up and following the Accelerator curriculum step by step.
