Starting a Business in Memphis? Get Support from "Emerge Memphis!"

Rod

October 30, 2009 Rod

I had a chance to talk with Eric Mathews of Launch Memphis which was established by a group of Memphis area leaders to grow the city’s entrepreneurial community. It resides inside of Emerge Memphis, the focal point for entrepreneurial activity in the Mid-South. Emerge Memphis is a general business and technology-based incubator in downtown Memphis.

In this 15 minute video, Eric gives me a grand tour of Emerge Memphis, its many amenities, why it has become the focal point for entrepreneurial activity in the Mid-South, the importance of Launch Memphis, his definition of success, and why he thinks entrepreneurs should “Fail Faster.”

    Thanks for sharing some great info for small business owners. I’ve started a Personal Training business in the downtown area and I’ve been looking for new ways to get the word out. If you’re interested in covering a new fitness business please check out Klein Fitness and give me a call!
