Building a company is hard. Building one while searching for community, representation, and meaningful connections can be even harder.

That’s why we’re bringing together Nashville’s LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs for an evening of networking, conversation, and relationship building with founders who understand the journey.

Hosted by Founders Circles and sponsored by the Tennessee Pride Chamber, this happy hour is designed to help founders connect with peers, share experiences, and build the kind of community that helps businesses grow.

⚡️What makes Nashville Entrepreneur Day special?

It’s not just the speakers, the pitches, or the packed rooms. It’s the belief that when entrepreneurs have access to the right people, resources, and opportunities, entire communities benefit.

This year, more than 1,100 founders, investors, business leaders, and supporters came together at GEODIS Park to celebrate the people building what’s next in Nashville. ⚡️

Will Whitley shares why events like Nashville Entrepreneur Day matter and why investing in entrepreneurs is really an investment in the future of our city.

The connections made here don’t end when the event is over. They’re often where the next partnership, customer, mentor, or opportunity begins.
