Kickstart the Future

The past few years erased many of our preconceived notions about innovation and productivity. In our present moment, we continue to face mounting challenges at an accelerated pace. With our future hanging in the balance, we need bold ideas to chart a new course. Most importantly, these solutions start with the people behind the great ideas. To kickstart the future, we have to redefine what it means to be a founder and explore the potential of the unknown. Join us as we outline a blueprint for a more sustainable future. Get inspired to become the agent of change and the founder you want to be.

Community Connects Us ALL

Although the idea of community seems to be more trendy than ever, San Antonio has always been uniquely connected through our culture, experiences, and hardships. Here, community is not just a word, it is something you can feel when you walk down the street.

Our city is powered by the connections between neighbors, families, and friends. Startup Week celebrates this and highlights the skills, stories, and strengths we share in our experiences. Let’s embrace the diversity among us and work towards a united future.
