NEXT Community Events
Our two annual community events, Launchpad and Venture Summit, serve as lightning rods for the #StartupGVL ecosystem.
We can’t wait to welcome you back to the Upstate for the 8th annual NEXT Venture Summit in September 2023.
This event has been assisting startups in the Carolinas with connections for their capital needs since 2016, with educational content from top speakers and the opportunity for high-impact, high-growth ventures to showcase their innovations to more than 20 top investors representing over $1 Billion in capital.
New businesses, whether a side hustle or venture-backed, need advice and encouragement to grow and flourish. Launchpad is an event designed to showcase, celebrate and help launch Greenville’s up-and-coming early-stage businesses.
The second-annual #StartupGVL Launchpad concluded in April 2023. Check out the highlights on our blog.
