Memphis is home to a highly collaborative network of organizations that make strategic investments into relevant programs, technical assistance, and capital resources that entrepreneurs — from community-based businesses to high-growth startups — need to thrive.
Led by Epicenter, the hub of entrepreneurship in the Greater Memphis area that was birthed from the Greater Memphis Chamber’s Chairman’s Circle, this network of partners has built a culture of entrepreneurship that leverages its regional strengths in medical device, agriculture, and logistics, with an additional focus on providing equitable support to its growing community of Black-owned businesses.
