Boulder Startup Week 2024

*We've changed venues due to the popularity of this event! Whoo-hoo! River and Woods is happily and graciously hosting space for us. Light snacks will be provided (first-come, first-served) and a cash bar will be available. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Join us for the launch of W CreateCo., a free group for women founders and business owners. The group is a place to take off the armor, find authentic and genuine connection with others, ask for and give support, and drop pretenses.

The event is open to anyone who is supportive of and comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women as business owners/founders. The ongoing group itself is offered to women - including cis and trans women - founders and business owners who are comfortable in that same centering space.

Learn more about the group - what it is and isn't, what we stand for, and ways to participate - on our website.

Can't make the event? Want to join the group ahead of time? No prob/go you! Applications are required to hold space for the integrity of the group, but aren't competitive. (That's the opposite of what we're trying to do.) Fill out an application to join the group here.

Some venue logistics:

Parking for the event:

• There is a building/parking lot just to the east of River & Woods. The lot says you cannot park there, but you can - the building is vacant.
• There is parking and 2-hour parking on many of the streets around the venue
• You can also park at the Boulder Chamber building and walk 1-2 blocks to River & Woods.

During the event:

• Please be patient with getting food/drinks. This is a big crowd to try to serve quickly. Servers will be circulating and  you can also go to the bar inside. Focus and have 
• There is a pre-set menu of available drinks in order to serve efficiently.
• If you bring cash, you can avoid having to wait to pay your tab if you're in a hurry at the end of the event.
• Tip well! These tired servers are coming off of a busy graduation and Mother's Day weekend.

After the event:

• You're welcome to stay and mingle, just please pay attention to where staff would like you to be so we're respectful of the diners at the restaurant
• As of now, there is still availability to grab a table and eat afterwards. Talk to a server or staff member to be seated.
