Scaling food and yard waste collection and vermicompost operation in West Michigan

FLOWS 2021 Showcase Judge’s Award

Wormies came into NextCycle seeking to expand its vermicompost operation in West Michigan by developing a new 13-acre site to increase production of its highly sought-after premium soil amendment. During the track experience, NextCycle coaches and mentors helped Wormies design the new site and began the process of getting the site permitted. Wormies secured an EGLE Market Development Grant to help finance this growth. Following coaching by NextCycle mentors, Wormies CEO Luis Chen Aguilara won the FLOWS Showcase Judge’s Award.
