Opportunities for Startups
A rolling roundup of opportunities currently open to startups.
Opportunities
Demo at Starupfest
For the first time ever, we're expanding our famed Startupfest Village to include a full scale Demo Floor. This is not your typical trade show. The first rule of the Demo Floor is no boring demos! In typical Startupfest fashion, we’re building a high engagement area and want to put your brand in front of the two groups you need most: the people who buy your product and the people who fund your future.

From Founder to CEO Bootcamp
Startupfest and Enjoy the Work are bringing early-stage founders together for a two-day bootcamp: practical frameworks on storytelling, founder-driven sales, fundraising, and early team-building, designed for founders who are ready to embrace the challenge of making the change from Founder to CEO.

The Founder's Playbook for complex sales
On June 15, Jonathan Lowenhar, Founder and General Partner at Enjoy The Work, is running a free, practical session for the Startupfest community on how to navigate complex, high-stakes sales. See More.
