The LaunchTN 3686 Entrepreneurship Festival was worth the three-hour drive to Nashville! Connecting with founders, investors, and innovators from Tennessee and the Southeast region further confirmed that headquartering Inclusive Excellence Consulting in Memphis was a great decision.

Dr. Mary McConner, CDE

Founder & Principal, Inclusive Excellence Consulting

3686 was a massive turning point in my company and honestly in my life as an entrepreneur. Connecting with investors was massively impactful, but also, as an entrepreneur, you get so bogged down by the day-to-day hustle, that you forget how important it is to put yourself in a space that inspires you.
