What was it like for Chattanooga’s entrepreneurial scene to put this city on the map as a destination to grow startups?

Jeremy Boudinet will tell you.

A decade ago, he was director of marketing at Ambition, now an industry leader in software and coaching for sales teams.

His success here led to more opportunities - and more successes - in Nashville, and out west in Arizona and Los Angeles.

But Chattanooga always stayed on Jeremy’s map - and recently, he returned to this city.

He’s now vice president of growth at Textla, one of the companies supported by Brickyard, which provides early-stage capital for startup founders building companies with high-growth potential.
