Denver Startup Week is first of six
Chase-sponsored entrepreneur events across the U.S.
Chase today announced a partnership with Seattle non-profit UP
Global to present Startup Week powered by Chase, a community-led
celebration of entrepreneurs.
The national sponsorship grew out of Chase’s title role in
Denver Startup Week, the largest free entrepreneur event in North
America. Startup Week features a platform of locally-organized
events, as well as Basecamp, launched by Chase and conceived by
Denver organizers as the epicenter of Startup Week activities.
“Startup Week celebrates the entrepreneur and connects them to
essential local support systems,” said Scott Geller, CEO of Chase
Business Banking, which serves 2.3 million small businesses across
the country. “We are thrilled to help expand this innovative,
community-led program that informs and inspires everyone in the
entrepreneurial ecosystem.”
Starting September 15 in Denver and continuing into spring 2015,
the following cities will host a Startup Week, created by local
community leaders with support from UP Global and Chase:
Columbus, Ohio – Spring 2015
Phoenix – Winter 2015
Dallas/Ft. Worth – Spring 2015 Seattle – Fall 2014 Denver – Fall
2014 Tampa – Winter 2015
“There are very few organizations with the footprint and forward
thinking Chase has,” said Marc Nager, Chief Executive Officer of UP
Global, which hosts entrepreneur events in more than 500 cities
around the world. “We believe entrepreneurs and the communities
they live in are going to drive the growth in this country for
future generations, and UP Global is proud to be working at the
grassroots level with Chase to roll up our sleeves and support the
hard-working entrepreneurs across America."
