OUR MISSION

Igniting the Heart and Soul of Southern Colorado’s Entrepreneurship: Embracing Unity, Fostering Creativity, and Cultivating Growth

Southern Colorado Start-Up Week is a celebration of the resilient, vibrant, and passionate entrepreneurial spirit that defines our region. Our mission is to bring together the dreamers, the doers, and the change-makers of Southern Colorado’s small business community, forging connections that inspire, empower, and uplift.

With heart and soul at the core of our event, we seek to create an atmosphere of warmth, camaraderie, and genuine connection, where diverse voices are honored, and every story is valued. Our week-long journey of discovery, learning, and collaboration encompasses immersive workshops, thought-provoking panels, and soul-stirring networking opportunities that ignite the creative spark within each participant.

We believe in the transformative power of unity, and by embracing the unique tapestry of talents, passions, and experiences that make up our community, we will cultivate an entrepreneurial ecosystem that flourishes and thrives. Together, we’ll not only elevate local businesses but also enrich the lives of those who call Southern Colorado home.

With open hearts and a shared vision, let us unite, innovate, and soar to new heights, creating a brighter, more prosperous future for the entrepreneurs and small business community of Southern Colorado.
