Boise Startup Week celebrates Idaho’s growing entrepreneur ecosystem. The week-long festival kicks off on October 26 and is free to the public. This year, we’re taking Startup Week virtual. For up-to-date information and event schedules, check out  boisestartupweek.org.

This year’s theme is B. Resilient. Boise Startup Week is designed to empower attendees of all backgrounds to imagine what’s possible, to develop meaningful connections, and to learn from the best that the Gem State has to offer.

Startup Week will feature 10 different tracks this year, including Food, Grow, Health, Social Impact, Start, Talent, Tech, VIP, Youth, and Design. Events will include talks, fireside chats, and keynotes from featured guests. This year’s marquee events will be the Trailmix Pitch Competition and $25K Pitch Competition.

Last year’s Boise Startup Week attendance topped 3,400 and highlights included a keynote by Governor Brad Little, the annual $25,000 Pitch Competition, and even a corporate dodgeball tournament.

Boise Startup Week is a community program housed within  Trailhead and co-chaired with  Vynyl promoting entrepreneurship in the Boise community. To register to attend, sponsor, or speak at Boise Startup Week, head to  boisestartupweek.org.

We’ll see you in October!
