About the Partnership

Drive Tennessee Forward is a partnership between two organizations that back Tennessee’s founders.

Launch Tennessee (LaunchTN)

Launch Tennessee is a 501(c)(3) public-private partnership that empowers innovators across Tennessee with capital, commercialization support, and connections, and it is the official sponsoring agency for this plate. Under Public Chapter 822 (2026), the specialty-plate proceeds are directed to LaunchTN’s mission, including its partnership with the Entrepreneurs’ Organization of Nashville.

EO Nashville

EO Nashville is the Nashville chapter of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization — one of the largest EO chapters in the world — and is written into the authorizing legislation. Its members are business owners and founders who grow through peer learning and shared experience. EO Nashville runs this campaign and is the collector of pre-order funds.
