Why this market matters

Somerset itself is small — about 22,000 people — but it sits inside one of the most densely populated and competitive corridors in the country, with roughly 6 other sharpeners nearby. 46 reviews in that environment is a disproportionately strong result for the population size.

Market size: ~22,100 people

Somerset Sharpener 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.
