Entrepreneurship is not a solo activity. It takes a thriving community of creators, engineers, designers, infrastructure, ball-breakers, idealists, cheerleaders, catalysts, financiers, and more. No startup survives without an ecosystem.
BPG is committed to helping entrepreneurial communities prosper – in Nashville, the Southeast, and beyond – through participation in accelerator education, mentorship, meetups, and outreach.
Project Music
As Core Mentors at Project Music, the first music technology accelerator at the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, BPG advised the inaugural cohort of unique music tech startups on everything from customer development to lean methodology to just what in the hell is the difference between a sync and a mechanical anyways?
MediaWorks
A production of the Knoxville Entrepreneur Center, MediaWorks – now in its second year – is a highly immersive instructional and mentorship driven program for digital media startups. BPG designed and executes a 13-week startup education program, covering all aspects of customer development, product/market fit, marketing, pitching, and everything else a company has to do to get from zero to sixty. Oh, and did we mention that at least three of the graduating companies have been funded so far? Yep.
Nashville Music + Tech
BPG is a proud sponsor of Nashville Music + Tech, a collective of artists, coders, music marketers, data scientists, entrepreneurs, managers, songwriters, publishers, and industry professionals who get together once a month to talk shop, share ideas, and hang. Usually, there’s beer.
