Want to meet one of the newest leaders in Greenville's entrepreneur ecosystem? Tyler Lane is joining us to moderate our next event! He runs the Greenville Local Development Corporation, a nonprofit originally created by the City in 1979 that has supported development by writing grants, loans, and equity checks here ever since.
Tyler is their first full-time hire. He just moved here from Ohio, where he ran a finance authority that structured eight-figure deals. He doesn't write the checks. He's the one who vets companies before they go to the board.
He's joined by Chris Petrella, who builds funding stacks so founders don't have to chase VCs, Blake Blakeborough, whose 12-week Launchpad cohorts train Greenville tech founders, and Atlanta's Jemiah Battle, who invests in innovation across the Southeast.
Every person on this panel sits somewhere between a founder and the money. Come find out what they're looking for!
