We are so incredibly excited to announce that Heather Hudson, Founder of 9Round Kickboxing Fitness, is going to be kicking off Next Venture Summit as our morning keynote! Did you know that 9 Round, which is now in 18 countries🤯, was founded here in the Upstate and continues to have its headquarters in Simpsonville? Heather has an incredible story of humble beginnings to international success. She'll literally be setting the stage and the energy for our second day and we are pumped up (kicked up?!) to see her speak.

On this week's episode of "Catching Up with Cohort Three", we had the chance to interview HUANG, WEIWEI SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP, the founder of Knotty Pawz. Weiwei has been an essential member of our cohort, always bringing great energy and even bringing dog toys for us to bring home to our furry friends! She's already had such an incredible journey with Knotty Pawz, and we can't wait to watch her continued success throughout the accelerator program and beyond. #StartupGVL #Entrepreneur #Sustainibility #DogToys #KnottyPawz #FemaleFounder #AcceleratorProgram

Willz went through our first accelerator cohort and drops some words of wisdom here. Proud of the progress he's made and continues to make (Mapsheet (Acquired) was acquired and he's already on to his next thing) #StartupGVL is a better ecosystem because of recycled founders, like Willz, who give back and never stop being curious.
