About us
An independent nonprofit, building Myrtle Beach's innovation community.
eMYRge exists to help people here start things, learn from each other, and stay. We run programmes, host events, and keep a working space open for founders, remote workers, and small teams on the Grand Strand.
eMYRge and the HTC Aspire Hub
These are two different things, and it is worth being clear about it. eMYRge is the independent nonprofit organisation — the programmes, the community, the team below. The HTC Aspire Hub is the building we are based in, at 509 9th Avenue N., Myrtle Beach, SC 29577.
So when you join eMYRge, you are joining a nonprofit community that happens to work out of a very good building. When you book a room, you are booking a room in that building.
