Our mission is to deliver high-impact resources to entrepreneurs using innovation to solve challenges in Memphis and the Delta Region. We make sure founders of innovative businesses have what they need to develop, launch and grow their ventures right here in the Greater Memphis region.
We bring national and regional attention to Memphis by attracting the tools, talent, and investment entrepreneurs need to grow and thrive — right here in the Delta.
We’re cultivating a robust pipeline of local, homegrown entrepreneurs and technologists — ensuring that innovation in Memphis reflects our community.
Our programs are built to move founders from idea to investment, and from pitch to purchase — equipping them with the skills and strategy needed to raise capital and secure real customers.
Where capital access is limited, customer demand is not. We bridge that gap by connecting startups to Memphis’ leading industries — like logistics and healthcare. We help entrepreneurs tap into these sectors by connecting them to real customers through our signature Opportunity Challenges.
Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation. We bring founders, funders, developers, and changemakers together through workshops, events, and programs that build community, spark ideas, and drive collaboration.
