Urban Vision Initiative at UTC

Last night's Community Connect event at Transcard HQ was a huge success, thanks to everyone who attended! Our UVI entrepreneurs enjoyed showcasing their businesses and networking with members of the community. This pitch contest and networking opportunity is a key part of our effort to help UVI entrepreneurs further their businesses and compete for a spot in Transcard's accelerator initiative, AccelUp. The program provides a $15k grant, mentorship from Transcard leaders, and immersion into the Chattanooga business community. We're excited to announce that we'll be revealing the two winners of the pitch contest at our upcoming UVI graduation ceremony on May 18th. We can't wait to share in the celebration of our entrepreneurs' growth with you. Keep an eye out for your invitation to the ceremony!

Mike Bradshaw is the Entrepreneur-in-Residence in the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Gary W. Rollins College of Business.

UVI's in-person sessions are almost complete. The cohort will continue the program online for the next 10 months under Mike's guidance.
