Louisville Startup Scene

The Louisville startup scene has a lot to be proud of. Like many burgeoning tech communities inside the coasts, the Derby City has benefited from private-public partnerships pursuing investment and economic growth, specifically for entrepreneurs and early-stage companies. Namely, the University of Louisville College of Business’s Forcht Center for Entrepreneurship, government agencies like Louisville Works and large public companies have banded together to support founders in their quest to solve big problems.
