Startup Fair

Who We Are It is essential to surround yourself with individuals who are already where you want to be. This gets to the heart of what Startup Fair aims to do. We are a startup initiative designed to support budding and experienced entrepreneurs. We partner with local organizations and thought leaders to connect startups with resources, mentorship, and networking and investment opportunities. WHY? Note from Founder: As a serial entrepreneur and Startup Fair founder, I know what it takes to turn the kernel of an idea into a successful, thriving business. It cannot be done in a vacuum. But perhaps even more importantly, we understand the role startups play in local ecosystems, in driving innovation, and in economic growth at large. The Seattle community has helped to cultivate and sustain us; now it’s our turn to give back. The Startup Fair Mission Startup Fair is a community building organization bringing together local startup peers, key industry thought leaders, mentors, educators, and investors for interactive dialogues on relevant entrepreneurial topics. Our goal is to give back to the Seattle startup community by partnering with local startup organizations and thought leaders to introduce emerging startups to resources, mentorship, and investment opportunities. We are most interested in working with entrepreneurs using data management to solve public policy, human development, and business challenges. Architecting, analyzing, and managing data in an effective manner is a great challenge and a tremendous area of opportunity for new business innovation. Collaboration At Startup Fair, we are also interested in collaborating with industry influencers who have the following areas of expertise and experience: • Knowledge of successfully taking startups from scratch to the next level • Funding, incubating, and accelerating startups. • CEOs, Founders, educators, and student organizations • Creative problem-solving and entrepreneurial thinking and mindsets
