Sponsorship Opportunities
Our aim is to bring Boulder Startup Week back to its roots: grassroots & community-driven, a conduit for connection and sparks of inspiration, and bolstering support for one another. In this spirit, we’ve designed our sponsorships to allow a low barrier to entry, with upper tier sponsorships contributing to events we most anticipate contributing to serendipitous fellowship and support of the community.
In the spirit of on-the-ground support to our local startup community, sponsors will have the opportunity to connect with and interview a small/early-stage local startup of their choice – where both you & the startup interviewee will be dually featured on our blog/socials. Put your mouth where your money is: This is a unique opportunity to highlight your company even more while also elevating members of the community we’re here to support. For sponsors that are startups themselves, this is a great chance to highlight other brilliant colleagues in the space.
