About us
Welcome to a growing tech and startup community based in Murfreesboro, TN. We bring together software development agencies, tech startups, founders, and entrepreneurs who are serious about building and growing real businesses. Our goal is to create a space where experienced builders and ambitious founders can connect, learn from one another, and move faster together.
These events are designed to foster meaningful relationships, not just surface-level networking. Whether you’re looking for a mentor, an advisor, a development partner to help bring an idea to life, or a small group of peers to grow alongside, this community is built to support that journey. We believe progress happens when the right people are in the room, sharing experience, insight, and accountability, and our mission is to provide the space and time that helps you move from ideas to execution with confidence.
Featured event
Non-Technical Founders | Workshop | Learn How To Start Building Apps
## Building Apps Without Burning Cash
Building an app doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated.
In this hands-on workshop, non-technical founders will learn how to take an app idea and turn it into something real without hiring a development team or spending a fortune.
We’ll use an AI-powered tool called Replit to build one app idea live during the session. At the same time, attendees will work on their own app ideas, step by step, alongside the speaker.
You’ll see:
- How an app goes from idea to a simple working version
- How AI can help you build faster — even if you’re not technical
- What’s possible today and what still requires a developer
- How to test an idea before investing serious time or money
This is a workshop, not a lecture. You’ll be able to ask questions as we go and get real-time help while you build.
Designed for non-technical founders and early-stage entrepreneurs who want clarity, confidence, and a practical starting point.
No fluff. No sales pitch. Just real building, together.
