Chattanooga venture capital & startups

Chattanooga Gig City map — Ambition, Bellhop, Branch Technology, Totem, plus Brickyard, co.lab, and Chattanooga Renaissance Fund.

Gig City mixes Brickyard's relocate-to-build seed model and co.lab commercialization with lasting local HQs: enterprise SaaS (Ambition), marketplace ops (Bellhop), construction 3D printing (Branch Technology), and homegrown event-tech hardware (Totem). Chattanooga Renaissance Fund backs seed companies rooted here — not temporary Brickyard relocators.
