S T R A T E G Y
ULECx provides discipleship, connection, and investment for Christ-centered middle market entrepreneurs and their co-leaders.
We define co-leaders as the key personnel, vendors/suppliers, and investors that support founding entrepreneurs. A middle market company is defined as an organization producing $10 million to $1 billion in annual revenue. Our endeavor to produce investment-grade middle market companies is the fulfillment of our mission to witness Birmingham retain her heritage as a city passionate for the heart of God.





Discipleship
For Christ-centered entrepreneurs and their co-leaders
Discipleship is the model that King Jesus utilizes to pour out the power of His Spirit upon all believers. As a result, discipleship is the intentionally selected process that the ULECx Market uses to achieve our mission.
We serve entrepreneurs and their co-leaders in the context of community. We define a co-leader as a business professional who co-labors with the lead entrepreneur in at least one of the following three aspects of business: key personnel, vendors, or investors. It is our intent to establish and strengthen the Birmingham community of Holy Spirit led entrepreneurs and co-leaders.

ULECx actively seeks to make an investment of capital, resources, and impartation toward any activity that is a middle market company or has the strong likelihood of becoming a middle market organization in Birmingham.






Four Part Process
A middle market company is defined as an organization producing $10 million to $1 billion in annualized revenue. Our process of establishing a culture of investment-grade middle market companies in Birmingham consists of four key components

Establish Connections
With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we connect entrepreneurs and their co-leaders to investors, key personnel, suppliers, and opportunities that will help them realize their organizational objectives.

Spiritual Freedom
No person is truly successful without living in a deep and loving relationship with the Word of God. We believe that personal character and a passionate relationship with King Jesus is far more valuable than any other attribute.
Every person carries some level of unnecessary spiritual burden and baggage. By the grace of the Holy Spirit, we pray that all people will find freedom from barriers and obstacles preventing them from living a life of fulfillment. The ULECx Market highly recommends a small group ministry named Freedom, a 13-week topical study with weekly gatherings to discuss the content further. The curriculum is designed to equip you to live the victorious and abundant life Christ came to give you. Freedom Groups build on the foundation of your faith in Christ to help you embrace the truth of God’s Word as it relates to your worldview, your past, your sin, your personal value to God, and your purpose in His Kingdom. This group will help you remove every obstacle to intimacy with God and walk in true freedom.

Middle Market by Intention
The ULECx Market teaches a curriculum inspired by 17 Reasons Your Company Is Not Investment Grade & What To Do About It, a book authored by investment banker and serial entrepreneur Zane Tarence. Middle Market by Intention is the most practical aspect of our discipleship process. With enough desire, aptitude, and a solid marketing plan, we believe one can intentionally build a healthy and robust middle market company.

Kingdom Identity
We believe entrepreneurship is a spiritual gift given to every person. The Bible is God's chosen path of imparting the heritage and legacy of our faith. The Lord our God has an opinion on how we are to value, build and lead our companies. It is our intent to teach entrepreneurs and their co-leaders how to lead business in alignment with the Kingdom of Heaven.
We serve companies that are either already well-established middle market companies or those looking to scale up to become a middle market company.
Please let us know if you or the company you represent would like to establish a relationship with the Birmingham Middle Market community.
