As Music City’s startup scene enters another busy year, Launch Tennessee shared a handful of Nashville-based companies to keep on your radar in 2026. The nonprofit works closely with startups across the state and has made investments into ~20 local startups through its equity fund, InvestTN.
TuneHatch
This platform streamlines how artists, venues, and promoters work together on live shows, from initial outreach to final payouts. The company was founded by Christal Hector, a musician and Vanderbilt University alum recently named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 in Music.
Potluck
Potluck is a social planning platform designed to answer a familiar question: “What should I bring?” The tool helps hosts and guests coordinate food, share photos, and stay connected before and after an event — without the clutter of group texts.
Adele Health
Adele Health is working on an integrated diabetes platform that combines a meter with an app to help users track and interpret health data. The idea grew out of co-founder Mark Norton’s experience helping his mother look for a blood glucose meter and realizing how few tools brought everything together in one place.
TourCntrl
This live event management software is free to use for artists, agencies, and venues, with a companion app that keeps show details in one place. It was founded by Jason Wall, a longtime music industry professional who has promoted more than 1,000 events.
CareAlly
CareAlly is built for families helping aging parents stay in their homes, especially when adult children live far away. The platform connects families with vetted home service providers for issues like leaks, gutters, or tree removal before small repairs turn into bigger, more expensive problems.
