Founders Live Center Stage Visits Nashville!
Each week of the year Center Stage visits a new city around the world - LIVE - to preview the evening’s competing startups, bring on special guests, visit with people on the ground at the event, and of course share Founders Live updates with everyone watching across the globe.
Then we hand everything off to the City Leader for the main event!

Founders Live is an unforgettable happy hour competition sweeping the globe where up to five handpicked companies take the hot seat, with only 99 seconds to pitch their company and describe their value proposition in front of an eager audience. After the pitches and audience Q&A, the crowd will vote on a winner who will not only receive an award, but recognition from the crowd and also the opportunity to talk more about their product or service. So bring your friends and coworkers, grab some food and drink, get to know your local entrepreneurs and vote for what you think will be the next big thing... built in Tennessee.
The Founders Live winners package includes $10,000 in AWS credits as well as the opportunity to continue on to compete in a future Founders Live Prime Time global event.
