Chucktown Startups: Meet the Founders

​Get ready for Charleston's most dynamic startup showcase! We're transforming the traditional networking event into a two-part experience that puts founders front and center. The first hour kicks off with our Business Expo Happy Hour Mashup, where founders will showcase their ventures at sleek display stations while everyone mingles with drinks in hand. Think of it as speed networking meets trade show, but way more fun and way less stuffy. Founders are encouraged to rock their company gear, making it super easy to spot who's behind which brilliant idea.

​The energy ramps up when we randomly select four founders for our live panel discussion. These lucky entrepreneurs will take the spotlight to share their stories, dive deep into their startups, and reveal exactly how you can help fuel their growth. The audience gets to grill them with questions during our interactive Q&A session, followed by prime networking time to continue those conversations that matter. Whether you're a founder looking to connect with peers, an investor scouting the next big thing, or just curious about Charleston's startup scene, this is where deals get made and partnerships are born.
