Who We Are

ENTERPRISECORP is the enterprise development arm of Greater Louisville Inc. -- The Metro Chamber of Commerce that cultivates Louisville’s entrepreneurial vitality.  With help from our community partners, we keep Louisville at the top of the nation’s list of “entrepreneurial hot spots” by serving the companies that create the vast majority of new wealth, new revenue and new jobs.  Our clients range from technology start-ups to established, fast growth companies to mature businesses in traditional industries.  ENTERPRISECORP provides voice, outreach, assistance and education for all that is entrepreneurial in Greater Louisville.

 

What We Do

Be the Voice. 

We shine the light on entrepreneurs and the investors who fund them via our many communication efforts.  These efforts make it more likely that our region’s innovators and high-net-worth individuals will take an active role in one of our emerging companies. 

Build the Infrastructure. 

We identify needs or gaps in the region’s entrepreneurial infrastructure, and then fill those gaps either directly or indirectly.  Examples include: developing new sources of capital (such as KY Seed Fund and Enterprise Angels), enhancing educational programs (including the Venture Club of Louisville and our Enterprise Exchange Series), and advocating for a favorable tax code.

Assist clients. 

We serve a portfolio of over 250 active clients, and we become virtual members of their team in order to help them succeed.
