What people are saying

I found customers at NEXT. I found business partnerships through NEXT. I found investors through NEXT. There’s so many things to connect with at NEXT that you don’t even envision when you start.

Frank Greer, CEO

Zipit Wireless

When we came to Greenville seven years ago as a startup, NEXT really put their arms around us. They took this company, still in its infancy, and gave us an almost unfair advantage by helping us overcome the obstacles that cause so many young businesses to struggle and fail.

Jon-Michial Carter, CEO & Cofounder

When I moved to Greenville and started my company, NEXT was the perfect front door to making connections and meeting other entrepreneurs in Greenville. I'd recommend any founder getting involved with NEXT.
