We are a community-led nonprofit co-creating meaningful economic growth with historically underestimated Nashvillians through knowledge, tools, and networks.
Our 10-week entrepreneurial program, The Academy, helps underestimated entrepreneurs plan, start, and grow their own small businesses. In phase two, our Academy Alumni program caters to the 1,200+ entrepreneurs who have graduated from our program, offering them continued education, networking opportunities, and more.
In 2023 alone, our entrepreneurs generated $27.9 million to put back into the Nashville economy.
