Over the next several weeks, the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD) will host a series of informational meetings regarding the department’s Tri-Star Angels Program (TAP).
The next meeting will take place at 3 p.m. on Thursday at the Urban League of Greater Chattanooga at 401 E M.L. King Blvd., Suite 301.
The TAP initiative seeks to strengthen Tennessee’s entrepreneurial ecosystem in all communities by partnering with regional entrepreneur centers, co-working spaces, and other ESOs to localize virtual training and put the principles learned into practice. TNECD partnered with the Angel Capital Association and the Tennessee Small Business Development Center (TSBDC) to deliver training and address the additional needs of angels, entrepreneurs and the startup community.
