Startup Tucson is working to grow a strong, vibrant startup ecosystem of companies, entrepreneurs, and talent in Tucson. Inspired by the robust scenes in cities such as Silicon Valley, Boulder and Austin, we are helping to spur economic growth by organizing educational events like hackathons, Startup Weekend events and Lean LaunchPad workshops, as well as networking events like Startup Drinks and Co-Founder Speed Dating. By launching the digital news organization Startup Tucson News, we are committed to covering the local scene and providing strong support for the efforts of partner organizations like the Tucson Young Professionals, Desert Angels, Gangplank Tucson, UA’s Tech Launch Arizona, Idea Funding, and others.
