Each weekly meeting focuses on key materials that are both fun and informative. As we move through each lesson, we will share our ideas and experiences to shape and mold our understanding of the material in a way that is far superior to simply reading a book on our own. We will be combining all of our minds to become a master mind.

CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments

The Nashville Business Incubation Center offers a variety of programs to support entrepreneurs in their growth efforts. The traditional Incubator, or Mighty Oak, program is unique in that it offers an academic approach to business ownership along with a support system geared toward micro-enterprise. The three-year program allows for businesses in all stages to provide entrepreneurial support throughout their tenure at the incubation center, whether asking for advice from a fellow business owner in their first year or giving advice in their third. The biggest programming challenge the program faces is finding micro-enterprises who understand and are willing to embrace a more structured approach to entrepreneurship with proven programs that include business process reviews, accountability and educational events. NBIC currently depends on the referrals from stakeholders, bankers, procurement officers and Small Business Development Corporation.
