Launch Your Startup
10x Your Network
Find the network for everything on your startup journey.
Whether you’re from Big Tech, work on Deep Tech, or are passionate about New Tech, this is the place to expand your network and gain the resources to launch your company.
Our Why
We had to build our own startup network from scratch and don’t want you to have to do the same. We had a craving to be around smart, ambitious people who understood startups, but at the time, we didn’t have the network.
We were too busy in our day jobs to build our network but after many months, we identified a curated group of talented entrepreneurs supporting startups. We now seek to share our network with you, so you don’t have to go through the same thing.
So, whether you are crushing it at your day job or dreaming about building your startup, we are ready to connect you with an amazing group of people to catapult your network and expedite your startup journey. We invite you to join us.
What members are saying
“Venture Out provided us a community to launch our startup here in Seattle before we even had an idea. We’ve been able to learn and grow from other like-minded founders and mentors. We’ve now raised $5.4mm in capital and built a global business. I highly recommend VO to folks who are looking to take the first step.”
“As a first-time founder, Venture Out connected me with a group of other founders in my area. It’s awesome to meet and get advice from seasoned founders who’ve exited several times, as well as help others with problems I’ve experienced before.”
“Venture Out has quickly risen to become a staple startup community in the Seattle ecosystem. Through VO I’m able to connect with amazing founders who are facing or have faced similar challenges and we are all able to help each other solve our most pressing problems. The VO community is very giving and accessible. If you’re a founder building a startup, you should check out Venture Out!”
Venture Out is an active community of determined, wildly capable entrepreneurs. Emphasis on the active. Within moments of posting in our community forum, I’ve received everything from considered feedback to substantive intros. VO folks are genuinely supportive and most everyone seeks to give as good as they get.
“Being a founder can be lonely, especially during COVID. Venture Out has been an awesome organization through the ups and downs of the rollercoaster that is starting a company. It’s valuable not only for tactical advice and helpful connections, but also emotional support and motivation.”
“The Venture Out community was key in building the team at Fusebit: it’s where we met our CTO and later on found marketing help. Hiring today is incredibly hard, so having this network of highly-qualified professionals offering help or looking for their next opportunity was invaluable.”
“Venture Out is a truly unique community with founders at various levels and stages. It’s been an incredible place to meet other entrepreneurs, riff on ideas, and get feedback on challenges I’m facing. VO has already proved to be a major asset in my founder journey and I’m excited for others to get more involved!”
“Venture Out attracts the most talented and driven entrepreneurs in the Pacific Northwest. But, beyond the intensity and high caliber of its members, is a warm and giving community — people as interested in helping each other as in finding help for themselves. This generosity of spirit is what makes this group stand out the most to me.”
