As one of the region’s top economic development organizations, NEXT Upstate has been growing and supporting the Greenville entrepreneur network since day one. And now, as the team evolves its vision to connect innovative entrepreneurs to a rich network of support and opportunities for growth, it has announced a name change. NEXT Upstate is now NextGEN – Greenville Entrepreneur Network and will provide support to the next generation of entrepreneurs, founders, and innovators in the Greenville area.
Alongside the name change, NextGen has announced the return of its annual conference, the NEXT Venture Summit, September 17-18.
Since 2016, the NEXT Venture Summit has ignited the startup scene in the Carolinas, creating powerful connections between entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. Now back and better than ever, the summit will supercharge the community with educational content, connect companies to fundraising firms, and offer high-quality networking opportunities for attendees.
