Empower Your Network

The next generation of founders are forging their own path. Many are choosing to learn through experience, hands-on projects, and real-world problem-solving. Innovation moves faster than you think, and what matters most is execution, network, and access to the right resources.

For Mentors & Advisors

Your expertise is the catalyst for the next generation of breakthrough companies. Here, mentorship is not passive. It is active, strategic, and results-driven. You’ll work with founders tackling real-world challenges, refining their strategies, and accelerating their path to success.

Whether guiding commercialization strategies, refining business models, or de-risking go-to-market pathways, your insights will shape ventures that drive meaningful innovation and economic growth.

Participate at any level, host a masterclass, join a panel discussion, or provide critical feedback in a pitch review. Your experience and insights could be the key to unlocking the next great innovation. Get involved and help shape the future.

For Founders

Founders have a place here as part of a powerful local, regional, and global network. Whether you want to attend networking and strategy events, gain direct mentorship, participate in hands-on bootcamps, or receive in-depth critique reviews, this is where you refine and scale your business.

Our IP-to-ARR program accelerates the journey from research and development to market traction and revenue. You’ll work alongside experienced mentors, industry leaders, and peers who challenge and support you. The focus is on execution—testing ideas, securing pilot programs, and building scalable business models. If you're ready to move fast, iterate, and commercialize breakthrough technologies, welcome.

Stay ahead of market shifts with the founders, technologies, and ideas that are shaping the future. Our network gives you direct access to high-impact startups solving mission-critical challenges in local industry and tech.

Get involved by sponsoring a cohort, inviting your corporate development team to judge a hackathon, or supporting founder events like Founder Breakfasts or Pitch & Run.

These are your opportunities to engage with top-tier talent, evaluate emerging technologies, and secure an early advantage in next-generation solutions while tracking industry growth and ecosystem development.

The Mission Economy

Just as the Apollo program gave us memory foam, WD-40, and integrated circuits, the Artemis economy represents humanity’s next great leap in innovation. But this isn’t just about reaching Mars. It’s about the thousands of breakthrough technologies we will develop along the way. The same challenges faced in lunar missions, such as water recovery, autonomous systems, and advanced materials, are the same ones we must solve on Earth. A water filtration system designed for Mars could provide clean water to drought-stricken regions. Autonomous robotics developed for lunar mining could transform Earth-based manufacturing.

Much like the Apollo era sparked a wave of technological progress, today’s founders stand at a similar inflection point. Space-based challenges drive innovations that ripple across industries, improving life for billions. The Artemis economy is not just about space exploration. It is about pioneering solutions that will define the future across two worlds.
