The starting point
Gary enrolled as Founding Member #1 at 76 years old — a retired Interim Minister of Missions with no trade background, no marketing experience, and no existing online presence.
The training
Built the site live on camera with the Accelerator (V0 to Vercel, on his own GoDaddy domain, live the same day), then built the Google Business Profile from zero and worked through the full curriculum.
What was built
Why this market matters
Bryan–College Station is a combined market of roughly 206,000 people with a handful of competing sharpeners. Four reviews is the number people fixate on — the harder part is a business that Google, its AI Overview, and its map all agree is the answer in that market, which Gary reached in five months starting from zero.
Market size: ~206,100 people
Eagle Edge Sharpening Service 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.
Your city is waiting.
13 operators. 9 states. Every market is different, the system works in all of them.
