RCP Companies

In this episode of Makers in MidCity, we sit down with serial entrepreneur Chase Morrow, co-founder of Techs in the City. With five startups (and four exits) under his belt, Chase shares his journey from growing up in Huntsville to creating a platform for real, unfiltered conversations about the tech scene in the South.

We dive into the mission behind Techs in the City—building authentic, collaborative tech communities across Alabama—and why Huntsville is primed to be more than just a government tech hub. Chase talks about the first Huntsville event at The Camp (held in freezing 26° weather!) and how events like these are helping to shape MidCity into a true hub for innovation and creativity.

From AI-powered business challenges to big-picture visions of merging music and tech, this conversation is packed with insight on what it takes to start, scale, and give back to your community. If you’re passionate about startups, collaboration, and the future of tech in Alabama, this episode is for you.
