StartupTN continued
Resource NetworkStartup Tennessee has launched the Startup Tennessee Resource Network, a database to connect entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, and business partners throughout Tennessee. Entrepreneurs with access to resources and personal networks build businesses that create jobs.
The Startup Tennessee Resource Network connects entrepreneurs with the ECD regional accelerator for their county who can assist them with launching their business and connect them to the statewide resources that are in place to help startup companies launch and be successful. The network is the front door and entrepreneurs' first stop for all entrepreneurial activity in the state. "By connecting Tennessee entrepreneurs, trained mentors, business partners that want to work with startup companies, and investors, the network can help drive entrepreneurial and new business growth throughout every region in Tennessee," said Burcham. "By joining StartupTN.com, entrepreneurs get connected to the network, which allows us to connect them with the people and resources that are in place to help them succeed." Regional ContactsStartup Tennessee helped each of the nine Tennessee ECD economic regions to launch a business accelerator and provide the technical support to connect entrepreneurs throughout the state. Both Startup Tennessee and these regional business accelerators are part of the Governor's INCITE Initiative, a key component of the Governor's Jobs4TN plan. The following regions have had successful launch sessions and designated a primary point of contact for its region.
