Nashville Entrepreneur Week | May 11-13

As the COVID-19 outbreak continues, we know that this is a challenging time for many businesses. We’ve compiled a list of resources to help you stay connected to your customers and employees. goo.gle/2TNX0tP

If you don’t have an emergency operations plan, #BeReady and make one today. These #smallbusiness resources can help. ➡️ sba.gov/coronavirus #COVID19 // #Coronavirus

We'd like to give a big, warm welcome to our 2020 sponsors! @VanderbiltU @Baker_Donelson @LaunchTN @nashtechcouncil @RiggsDavie @growthxvc @entrecenter @RelationaryMktg @mynbic & ARO Creative Inc. We thank YOU! #NEW2020 #startsomethingNEW #NashvilleEntrepreneur

Our priority is our Nashville community 1st. We are monitoring the situation w/ COVID-19 & will make adjustments based on the recommendations of the WHO, CDC, & local authorities. As of now, we are planning to proceed with NEW as originally scheduled. We will keep you updated.

Due to severe weather concerns, we have decided to postpone tonight's event until Thursday, March 26 at the same time and place. Based on the nature of this event and the trauma we have all been through, we wanted to be sensitive and cautious. No action is needed to RSVP again!

A special thank you to this week’s #LaunchLetter sponsors! @StartupWeekNash 2020 is May 11th-13th - This week’s issue features more of their story: eepurl.com/gUvoKH

If you know of any other resources that may aid our local businesses in this time of need, please respond to this tweet and share your knowledge with our community! #nashvilletornado #nashvillestrong #nashvilleentrepreneur

If your business remains largely unaffected and you do not have a disaster plan in place, the @USCCFoundation also has a guide for preparedness. --> uschamberfoundation.org/node/43155

In wake of the Nashville tornadoes on March 3rd, we have gathered a few additional resources for affected businesses. #nashvilletornado #nashvillestrong #nashvilleentrepreneur

To offer additional help for Davidson County businesses impacted by the tornado, the U.S. Small Business Administration has opened a center at Jefferson Street Missionary Baptist Church to apply for disaster assistance loans and more. Learn more: bit.ly/3cGwgmm

If your business was affected by the tornado, join us this Thursday for an open house. We'll discuss education and tools available to aid recovery from the economic impact of the tornado. @nashchamber @Pathway_Lending @SBA_Tennessee @Nashville_ECD RSVP: eventbrite.com/e/business-dis…

That said, we are hard at work to find new locations to host NEW during May 11-13 and will report back soon with our updated venues. We are proud to be a part of this community! #NashvilleStrong

We are devastated that in 2020 we won't be able to work with amazing venues that have generously donated to NEW and opened their doors to our community in previous years.

We are sad to report that all of our 2019 venues have sustained damage from last week's storms. @theLabNashville and @redpepper have been very seriously damaged. @ConceptTechInc , who has hosted us for 3 years, and the @mynbic have also sustained damage.

The Opening Party is starting and we are SOLD OUT! 🥂
