Start Something with John Stanton

​Start Something is a dynamic conversation series that brings together trailblazers from Seattle’s innovation ecosystem to share their entrepreneurial journeys and lessons learned with a vibrant community of UW students, founders, and innovators—as well as members of the broader startup community.

​For our next installment, we’re thrilled to welcome John Stanton, pioneering wireless industry entrepreneur, co‑founder of Trilogy Partners, and one of the most influential leaders in the Pacific Northwest venture and startup community. As the founder of Western Wireless and VoiceStream (which later became T‑Mobile), a longtime investor through Trilogy, and now chairman and CEO of the Seattle Mariners, John has shaped both global industries and the region’s innovation landscape.

​​John will be joined in conversation with Emer Dooley, site lead for CDL-Seattle and former executive director of Alliance of Angels. Join us for an engaging discussion as John reflects on his journey and shares insights on navigating technological disruption, backing bold founders, and leading with purpose across sectors.

​Doors open at 6:00 PM. Talk begins promptly at 6:30 PM.
