👋 Welcome back!

Welcome back to the Torch Weekly Newsletter! We can’t thank you enough for tuning in and helping us build this community. Let’s jump in.

🙋‍♂️ Meet Jared, our new GM!

We’re excited to announce the team is growing! Jared is a hospitality veteran, having spent 12+ years at Omni Resorts worldwide and most recently as Resort Manager of luxury inn and resort, Southall, located in Franklin, TN. Jared brings an evergreen energy to the space and we are stoked to have him on our team to fine tune the in-person member experience at Torch. Make sure to say hi the next time you come by!

☕️ Come through tomorrow for coffee (May 14)!

We love Wednesdays at Torch (Glasshaüs) because we get the opportunity to meet more of you inspiring innovators and always learn something new about what you all want to see in this community and space. Drop by if you’re free this Wednesday AM. As a reminder, we have a full cafe with Coffee, Tea and Grab ‘n Go breakfast items, so come as you are, we’ve got you taken care of.

🍸 EC Happy Hour on Thursday (May 15th)

We’re partnering with the Nashville Entrepreneur Center to host a happy hour on the 15th. This event is a relaxed, informal opportunity to meet entrepreneurs—spanning financial technology, health, and beyond.

No formal pitches—just authentic connections. We’ll toast to the hard work and progress of founders in the Healthcare and Fintech cohorts, and you’ll get a first look at what’s next for their growing ventures. Register below!

Spread the word! We want to build from within so feel free to share/forward this newsletter. If you vouch for them, we'd love to have them be a part of this community. We’ll be launching our founding member cohort in the coming months. Subscribe to stay up to date on details!
