Building on the legacy of Startup Week CHA (2014 – 2021), Chattanooga Entrepreneur Week (CEW) continues to empower our community with a dynamic, business-focused event that celebrates innovation, collaboration, and growth. In 2024, we reimagined the event as a community-wide collaboration, and in 2025, we’re taking it to the next level .

The Chattanooga Business Resource Collective (BRC) was born in 2023 from a shared vision: to create a stronger, more connected entrepreneurial community in Chattanooga. As a coalition of organizations, individuals, and advocates, we came together to provide business support, technical assistance, and resources to empower local entrepreneurs and small businesses.
