Okay, procrastinators. I told you about Startup Day back in March. Some of you listened. Some of you opened it in a tab, forgot about it, and moved on with your lives. This is for those folks and their thousand open tabs. Tickets are $295 right now. After May 1, they jump to $395.
Quick refresher for those of you just joining us… Startup Day is a one-day founder conference in Seattle on May 15, 2026, at the Bell Harbor Conference Center. Marcelo Calbucci — who has been building the Seattle startup community for a long long time — put this together.
We’ve been helping entrepreneurs take their first steps — connecting you with resources, other founders, and the tools to get started. Startup Day is the next level: a full day packed with firsthand lessons from founders who’ve done it, one-on-one time with investors and advisors, and a room full of 400+ people who are building.
Eric Ries. Terry Myerson. Rand Fishkin. Ambika Singh. Fifteen speakers total. Plus 1:1 advisory sessions, a co-founder matching program, a startup fair, and a happy hour… Oh and every ticket comes with a free copy of Eric’s new book Incorruptible.
I’m a community partner for this one. So yes, I’m biased. But I also wouldn’t put my name on something I didn’t think was worth your time. (Also I have a limited discount code for $100 off — “FLORIST100” at checkout — while supplies last.)
