SoCo Startup Week 2026

📅 Tuesday, August 25th | 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Unwind, connect, and celebrate an incredible day of rural entrepreneurship at Emergent Campus during Southern Colorado Startup Week at the beautiful Observer Ranch.

Nestled just outside Penrose with sweeping mountain views, Observer Ranch is more than a campground, it's a learning center, event venue, and gathering place built around community, curiosity, sustainability, and lifelong learning. With a mission to foster innovation, resilience, and meaningful connections, it's the perfect setting to continue conversations sparked throughout the day.

Join fellow entrepreneurs, founders, investors, ecosystem builders, and community leaders for an evening of casual networking in a relaxed outdoor setting. Whether you're reconnecting with old friends, making new connections, or reflecting on the day's ideas, this after party offers the perfect opportunity to build relationships beyond the conference sessions.

Enjoy the fresh air, scenic surroundings, and great conversation as we close out an inspiring day focused on the future of rural innovation.

Come raise a glass, share your story, and connect with the people building the next chapter of entrepreneurship in Southern Colorado.
