Music City Gets a Music Accelerator
Monica Selby
In this episode of Serious Startups, we get hyperlocal and talk about the new music accelerator coming to Nashville.
I loved this discussion because with Kane so deep into the music business, he had some great insights into why Project Music will be a great asset to Nashville–or perhaps another stumbling block?
There’s so much going on in Nashville these days. Everywhere you look there are more cranes and buildings and “Now Hiring” signs. If you haven’t been to Nashville before–and have an idea for a music business startup–make sure you apply to Project Music. The mentorship and investment could be game changing for you and your startup.

We’re really excited for our friends featured in the NEXT Awards, hosted by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce and the Entrepreneur Center. There are some great companies and entrepreneurs up for awards this year.
But, is the fact that we even have an awards ceremony one of the warning signs of a bubble? I think so. What about you?
