Artiphon - the maker of tech-enabled musical instruments - in Nashville. 75F - the developer of technology that automatically adjusts temperature in commercial buildings - in Minneapolis. WealthForge - an online broker/dealer that connects entrepreneurs with accredited investors - in Richmond. We’ve found some great businesses on these tours, many with ideas I wish I had thought of myself. I visit growing companies, listen to founders’ ideas, and then put my money where my mouth is and award $100,000 to a pitch competition winner in each city. New centers of innovation will thrive, as entrepreneurs seeking to disrupt those sectors head to places where those industry ecosystems (not to mention more reasonable real estate markets and modest overhead) exist.Īt each tour stop, I meet with entrepreneurs, local officials and other investors.
