This year’s Project Music Accelerator participants received early feedback from Nashville’s entrepreneur and investor community at Wednesday night’s (April 6) Investor Open House at the Nashville Entrepreneur Center. The open house is part of a 16-week accelerator program that takes entrepreneurs through immersive curriculum and fine-tuning their model and message.

“These are the innovators empowering the next wave in the music industry,” said Bill Brennan, a Nashville-based entrepreneur, investor and mentor who attended the event. “It’s exciting to be a part of it!”

The official Accelerator’s Startup Showcase will take place on Mon., May 16, at 4 p.m. at the CMA Theater in the Country Music Hall of Fame. It will be held in cooperation with the Music Business Association’s upcoming Music Biz Convention, held May 16-18 at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel. The Country Music Association (CMA) is this year’s title sponsor.

“CMA is delighted to once again be a part of the Project Music Showcase and to support these entrepreneurs that will present exciting new ideas to bring innovation to our music industry,” said Damon Whiteside, CMA Sr. VP of Marketing and Strategic Partnerships.

“We’re thrilled to be working with the CMA and the EC to give this year’s Project Music participants a chance to show off their products in front of some of the industry’s biggest influencers at Music Biz 2016,” said Robby Towns, Director of Digital Strategy & Community at Music Biz. “Innovative tech is the key to a prosperous future for music, and Project Music does fantastic work cultivating forward-thinking tech startups in Nashville. We’re so excited to cap off our Music Startup Academy with the Project Music finale.”

The showcase will be the closing session of the convention’s Music Startup Academy, which will teach attendees about topics including labels, publishing, business development, and content acquisition as well as provide venture capitalist, PR, and branding advice.

For information and to request an invitation to the May 16 Nashville Startup Showcase, please visit projectmusic.co/invest. These events are invitation-only.

Project Music is the Nashville Entrepreneur Center’s leading action to support innovation within the music industry by bringing music, tech and business leaders together to nurture startups companies.
