Startupfest is committed to diversity and inclusion, ensuring underrepresented voices are amplified and heard. Our Inclusion Initiative provides subsidized tickets each year to female entrepreneurs, Indigenous innovators, and diverse founders from various backgrounds. We strive for gender parity on our stages and promote equal representation across all programming.
Since introducing the Startupfest Inclusion Initiative in 2011, we’ve welcomed hundreds of founders worldwide to our events and witnessed them win hundreds of thousands of dollars through our investment prize competitions.
