Founders Alley Philadelphia Returns October 20 at Pennovation Works

On October 20, Founders Alley brings founders, investors, operators, and civic leaders together at Pennovation Works for a day built around one goal: creating an intentional space where valuable connections, new partnerships, and new opportunities are forged.

A day built for connection

Expect founder and investor panels, a startup showcase, fireside chats, and plenty of room to build the relationships that move Philadelphia's innovation economy forward. This is a room built for the people shaping what comes next in the city's startup and investment community, and there is space in it for you.

Grab your ticket and see the full agenda. Help us fill the room by sharing it with your network, and please tag us when you do.

New this year: founder resources and sponsorship

This year, ICW Capital is partnering with Founders Alley to provide educational materials for founders attending the event, adding a new layer of practical resources to the day.

We are also opening sponsorship for this year's event. Partnering with Founders Alley puts your organization in front of the founders, capital providers, universities, corporate leaders, and public officials shaping Philadelphia's innovation economy, both in the room on October 20 and across our community's reach well beyond that day.

Sponsors also receive a complimentary invitation to our event partner ICW Capital's Cocktails and Capital events, where your organization will be presented as a sponsor. If your organization is interested in sponsoring, reach out and we will follow up with the full sponsorship package and pricing deck.

Advocacy update: PHL Tech PAC and Founders Alley partner up

Founders Alley has partnered with PHL Tech PAC to elevate the voices of founders in the policy decisions that shape the startup economy. We are proud to share that PHL Tech PAC has endorsed Pennsylvania's Research and Development tax credit legislation, SB 792 and HB 1004.

PHL Tech PAC works to advance startup friendly policy in cities across the country from its home base in Philadelphia, so the people building this region's companies also have a voice in the policies that affect them.

Read the full post on the endorsement, and visit the site for the rest of the story. We want to hear what is affecting your business from a policy perspective, so we can share your stories with policymakers and help shape the future of the startup community in Philadelphia and other major cities.

Building what comes next

We look forward to building what comes next with you on October 20.
