Calling all Seattle startup founders!
The competition is the largest startup contest in the Greater Seattle area for the 2024-2025 season and will additionally include a life sciences and health panel discussion as part of the event. It aims to support early-stage technology startups in the region, with an expected attendance of over 300 participants and more than a hundred competing projects.
