Sponsorship Packet 2019
WEEK OF OCT 7TH 2019 | DOWNTOWN BOISE
IntroductionBoise Startup Week is the largest community-driven, entrepreneur-focused event in Idaho. 2019 will be BSW’s 4th year in operation and already seeing growth well beyond projections. Our success comes from our engagement with organizations in every sector public and private. From government departments, private companies, universities and non-profits, we’ve found that everyone has an opportunity to engage and directly contribute to our ecosystem.
Making Boise Startup Week happen requires the support, skills, and drive of our whole community: entrepreneurs, investors, civic leaders, educators, business pioneers, and more. Ecosystem building is a team sport. It truly takes all of us.
In order to engage the entire community, we offer several tiers of sponsorship opportunities, allowing sponsors to contribute in an array of capacities, from leveraging individual resources to enterprise–scale offerings.
Whether sponsors contribute to a specific event, to one of our themed ‘tracks’ (Founder, Grow, Tech, Talent, Food Entrepreneur, Youth, Health or Social Impact), or generally to the entirety of Boise Startup Week, all sponsorships are directly invested into the hard costs of putting on this multiday city-wide event.
Sponsorship generosity allows our volunteer-only planning & execution committee to put on a world-class celebration of Idaho entrepreneurs – and to offer free tickets to all attendees.
Thank you for your consideration. We appreciate your support.
