Have you heard of Brickyard ? Put simply, the local early stage capital and founder outpost is a place for “serious founders.”
The local organization was started by five entrepreneurs, including two you may be pretty familiar with — Cam Doody + Matt Patterson, the founders of a little company called Bellhops .
According to the Chattanooga Chamber , the incubator-like space (it’s important to note that it is not an actual incubator, though — more like “an insulator ”) + funding has brought 15 different startup founders from around the world right here to Chattanooga, many of which are women or minority-owned.
Beyond the business, capital, and startup side of things, Brickyard’s space is also just... super cool. We like to think of it as a 12,000-sqft coworking site specifically designed for founders, that also happens to feature a founder house, gym, sauna, cold plunge, and all the cozy details of your dreams.
