Welcome to our 15th edition of Startupfest!

Join Startupfest founder Phil Telio and content chair Alistair Croll as they kick off our landmark 15th anniversary edition with a no-nonsense preview of what's actually worth your time over these three days. Beyond the usual platitudes about "innovation" and "disruption," they will cut through the noise to highlight the brutally honest founder confessions, unfiltered investor panels, and authentic conversations you won't find at any other event. After a decade and a half of bringing the startup ecosystem together, we've learned that the real magic happens when we drop the pretense and get real about building companies in today's challenging landscape. Consider this your insider's guide to what you need to do to get the most out of the next 3 days!
