Backchannel: New invite-only event for founder connections

​📍 Location

​Nashville, TN
Exact venue shared upon confirmation. You must be able to be there in-person.

​🔒 About the Event

​This is not your average networking night.

​Backchannel is an invite-only gathering where top Nashville founders meet curated matches from the investor and startup services community.

This is an opportunity to find peers, potential customers, and capital opportunities.

​Whether you’re fundraising, growing your team, or navigating your next big move, this off-the-record experience will bring you face-to-face with the people who can help.

​What is the experience?

We are partnering with Folx Table to group founders by interest, stage and need to match with potential customers, funding sources and peers.

​🤝 Who’s Invited

• ​Startup Founders: building momentum and gaining traction

• ​Investors: seeking early-stage deal flow and long-term partnerships

• ​StartupNash Partners: vetted partners who help startups with knowledge and expertise.

​Attendees will be pre-matched based on shared interests, complementary skill sets, and business stage. Expect meaningful 1:1 intros and structured social time. This is not speed dating, and not pitches.

​🎯 What to Expect

• ​Handpicked connections in an intimate setting

• ​Zero pitching, maximum collaboration

• ​A few surprises (you’ll have to be there to find out)

​Space is limited. Admission is free but confirmation is required. You’ll receive next steps after registration.
