Who We Are

Rooted in Purpose,
Built for Impact

A Grapevine Network is a private alliance of Entrepreneurial Support Organizations (ESOs) dedicated to building high-performing business communities across the Southeastern region and beyond. Established in 2016, this collective unites independent chapters under one shared purpose — to develop a unifying web of community resources where partners share information, plan, and organize to meet common economic needs and opportunities within their local business districts.

Each chapter operates within its own region with its own leadership, while drawing on the strength, standards, and relationships of the wider alliance. Together we provide entrepreneurs and business owners with access to essential resources — marketing, advertising, management, and media services — and cooperatively invest in community initiatives designed to build more positive, constructive, and creative pathways that strengthen local economies.

Our ambition reaches the entire Southeast and beyond — from the Carolinas and the DMV into Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, and the markets that follow. Across every territory, this organization is building solidarity-economy initiatives with businesses and institutions throughout each community — offering knowledge across every aspect of business and entrepreneurship while fostering relationships that support personal and professional growth.

"We empower those we serve to invest in their professional development while contributing their time, talent, and capital toward building thriving, globally connected businesses and communities."

A Grapevine Network and its chapters operate under Our Pipeline Incorporated as 501(c)(6) trade and professional associations.
