Junction 1910 · 1801 19th Street, Ensley

This week at Junction 1910 was about movement.

Entrepreneurs came in with questions, ideas, and needs, and left a little clearer about what comes next. That is exactly what we want this space to be: a place where you do not have to figure out the next step alone.

Whether you start online or walk through the doors in Ensley, the goal is the same: connect you to the right support at the right time.

We’re building week by week. And we’re just getting started.

Montgomery, are you ready?!

Network Navigator is headed your way!

We’re joining Vision to Venture on October 3 for a hands-on workshop. Come with your idea. Come with your questions. Come ready to build.

Let’s Navigate MGM!

In just 5 days last week, 12 entrepreneurs came through the Network Navigator website looking for capital for equipment, operating expenses, property, certifications, and new business launches.

The need is clear, and the Small Business Lender Matchmaker is an opportunity to meet face-to-face with lenders and discuss your next step.

Join us September 28 from 10 AM–2 PM at Innovation Depot, followed by the Lender Social Hour from 2–3 PM. Appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
