SUMMARY:SoCo Startup Week - SoCo Startup Showcase
DESCRIPTION:🚀 SoCo Startup Showcase\nWednesday\, August 26th | 4:30–6:30 PM\nEnt Center for the Arts at UCCS \nPresented by El Pomar Institute for Innovation and Commercialization (EPIIC) \nSouthern Colorado is building more than people realize. Come see it for yourself. \nThe SoCo Startup Showcase is a high-energy\, interactive startup experience featuring around 20 companies from across Colorado Springs and Southern Colorado. This is not a standard tabling event with banners\, brochures\, and polite nodding.

You might test your reaction time\, try a simulator\, throw things\, or discover a company solving a problem you did not even know existed. \nThis event is built for founders\, students\, investors\, business leaders\, startup supporters\, and anyone who is curious about what is happening in the local innovation ecosystem. Whether you are already plugged in or have been watching from the sidelines\, this is your chance to get an inside look at the companies\, people\, and ideas shaping Southern Colorado’s next chapter. \nThe evening will be free-flowing\, social\, and full of energy. Explore the startup exhibits at your own pace\, meet the founders behind the work\, enjoy a full catered meal\, and hang out at the Goat Patch Brewing pavilion for FREE beers! \nCome ready to explore\, ask questions\, try things\, meet people\, and leave saying: “I had no idea this much was being built here.” \nHere’s what to expect: \n\n🚀 Interactive startup showcases and live demos\n🎯 Games\, challenges\, simulations\, samples\, and hands-on activities\n\n\n🤝 Networking with founders\, students\, investors\, entrepreneurs\, and community leaders\n🍽️ A full catered meal\n🍻 Goat Patch Brewing pavilion with FREE beer\n💡 A high-energy look at what Southern Colorado’s startup community has to offer\n\nIf you are curious about startups\, innovation\, entrepreneurship\, or the future of Colorado Springs\, this is the room to be in. \nWho Is This Session For\nColorado founders\, startups\, entrepreneurs and small business owners.
