About Bristol
Sitting in Sullivan County of Tennessee, Bristol is a part of the "Tri-Cities" region and home to the Birthplace of Country Music Museum that was opened in 2014. It's the site of the Bristol Motor Speedway and has one of the most well-known motorsports facilities in the country, the NASCAR short track. It was here in 1927 that record producer Ralph Peer of Victor Records began recording the local musicians and the rest is history. An annual festival in September known as the "Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion" happens that is a drawcard for musical souls all over the country. Its locals number about 26,842 all milling around the city streets with big grins or hanging out in coworking venues getting into creative mode.
The long-time country music capital of Tennessee, Bristol, is becoming known as an emerging tech hub due to its $84 billion health care economy that is transforming the innovation scene. Creative clusters are appearing throughout Tennessee with coworking venues appearing in the streets that were once the domain of country, pop, rock, jazz, soul and blues. Startup neighbourhoods are flourishing with plenty of incubators such as "The Idea Hatchery" and digital agencies like "SnapShot Interactive" moving in. Warehouses and factories are being revamped and colonised by out-of-the-box thinkers and entrepreneurs are gaining plenty of local support. Predominantly health and health-tech firm startups with plenty of music gurus hitting their straps, Tennessee is where you can start work at 7am and finish as late as 1am if your stamina holds up.
Tech startup events are being teamed with music festivals, and there are plenty of pitch competitions or speed-dating opportunities with prospective investors before, after or during the time you are mingling with likeminded souls in a coworking venue.
