The Philadelphia Area has a fast growing startup ecosystem, and entrepreneurs here are lucky to have so many resources available to help them in their journey. However, many people don't know about all of the resources available, the differences between them, or what resources are right for them. At this in-person event, we will gather representatives and Mentors from different entrepreneurial and funding organizations, including Startup Grind, Keystone Founder Studio & Founders Alley, to outline the local resources and provide tips on how to build a startup in the Philadelphia area. Hear from our graduates, mentors and partners and learn about the extensive network of startup resources.

What You'll Learn:

  • Local Organizations to help launch and grow your startup
  • Little-known resources that benefit your industry
  • How to find Mentors
  • Additional funding sources for early-stage founders
