Wednesday Startups in Action Social

Welcome to Startups in Action — 2026 Edition

Startups in Action continues as a weekly, hands-on gathering for founders who are serious about turning ideas into real, viable companies.

Are you struggling to identify the right problem to solve?

Stuck on product development or validation?

Looking for accountability, traction, or a co-founder?

Preparing to apply to an accelerator and want to improve your odds?

Wondering whether you truly have what it takes to build a successful startup?

If you answered “yes” to any of these, we invite you to join us and take the next step in your entrepreneurial journey.

What Do Our Meetings Look Like?

Every week is intentionally different and highly practical. Sessions may include:

MVP showcases

Pitch practice

Co-founder matching

Group Q&A and problem-solving

Founder hot seats

Guest speakers from the startup ecosystem

You are never required to present. You’re welcome to attend as an observer and to watch, learn, ask questions, and engage at your own pace.

New founders and first-timers are always welcome.

Our Goal

Our goal is to make entrepreneurship more accessible, practical, and achievable by facilitating meaningful connections and delivering actionable support.

We exist to help founders in Seattle:

Overcome real obstacles

Pressure-test and refine their ideas

Build confidence through practice and feedback

Reach concrete milestones with community support

This is a space for learning by doing—together.

Presentation Structure

10–12 minutes for presentations

8–10 minutes for Q&A
