100+ founders. $40,000 in non-dilutive grants. One afternoon. Nashville's biggest entrepreneurship showcase is back.

Nashville Entrepreneur Day is Nashville's largest entrepreneurship showcase — and this spring, three founders are competing for $40,000 in non-dilutive grants. No equity. No strings. Awarded live.

What's happening:

The Nashville Entrepreneur Center's Spring 2026 accelerator cohorts — TakeOff, InFlight, and Project Healthcare — are wrapping up their programs. Over 100 founders will be tabling across the full concourse at GEODIS Park. You'll be able to meet them, sample their products, and talk with them directly.

In the WeHo Club, ten of those founders will take the stage to pitch for the EC Impact Grants: $25,000, $10,000, and $5,000 in non-dilutive funding. The judges decide on the spot. You're in the room when it happens.
