Chamber's Schulz enthusiastic, but cautious re Marketing

During today's Owen Accelerator presentations, Chamber President Ralph Schulz made clear he wants to attract both entrepreneurs and investors to Music City, possibly by employing one or more of the themes and tactics laid-out today by Accelerator students. We want capitalists to know Nashville is a great place for investing in great ideas. However, Schulz also told VNC in a sidebar conversation he believes we have to be cautious to make sure that entrepreneurs know we're still putting together the institution we need to facilitate connecting entrepreneurs with resources, including capital. That new institution will be the Chamber's Entrepreneurship Center, which will first be virtual, and later bricks and mortar, if plans hold. Here's our story on this morning's presentations.
