Programs & Services

Founders Forum serves as a gathering space for founders to network with peers, share best practices, and hear from experts about varying topics that are relevant to their business. These monthly workshops provide entrepreneurs regular access to other entrepreneurs and top industry knowledge.

Growth Labs is a more advanced workshop series- a double-click on what we can cover in only one week of the accelerator and a more personalized approach to learning than sitting in the same room with dozens of your peers. Growth Labs span 3-4 weeks and are tailored for 4-6 founders at a time so they can spend each session actively working on their business directly with a subject matter expert.

NEXT mentors provide unbiased, conflict-free, practical, and actionable advice on a long-term basis. MIT’s strict code of ethics ensures a safe, trusting environment for our members. Our team-based mentorship program is what our members mention most when they talk about how NEXT has helped them.

StartupDrinks is an unstructured networking event powered by NEXT for the local startup community. The first drink is always on us- so join other entrepreneurs and ecosystem allies to connect in a cultivated, peer group setting.

The NEXT Accelerator is a unique opportunity for Greenville founders to engage with successful, experienced founders in a fun and collaborative environment- at no cost to their business. This program runs twice a year, with 6-10 cohort members for 8 weeks at a time.

With a series of foundational events, NEXT offers endless opportunities for startups to get connected to the resources they need at the stage when they need them most. But not every stage looks the same- and our events reflect these differences.
