Trailhead Boise

We've extended the registration deadline for Idaho Startup Lab Summer 2026! You now have until June 14th to apply!

After 58 entrepreneurs came through our doors in year one, we've been hard at work leveling up the program for early stage founders.

This summer's cohort features new AI literacy components throughout our 4 session program. Foundations of entrepreneurship have remained the same, but the tools in which we use to build are ever-changing, and we want to make sure you're building with the best of them.

Idaho Startup Lab is still free, still in-person, and still built for early-stage entrepreneurs ready to turn an idea into something real. Don't let June 14th sneak up on you, register now! https://hubs.li/Q04kNgtr0

Congratulations to our winners for the summer Boise Pitch Night! Djoulisa Allen won our audience vote and a year-long membership to Trailhead, and Eric Crawford won a Golden Ticket to the Boise Entrepreneur Week semi-finals for 2026. We're stoked for both of these incredible entrepreneurs as they continue on their journeys!

Thanks to Perkins Coie LLP for being a long-time sponsor of Boise Pitch Night, as well as Esperitu Studio, Boise State University, and the Idaho Department of Commerce for their support! We'll catch you at the next one!

Last week, we launched the Community Brief! Written and curated by our marketing manager, Annika Kalac, the Community Brief is a monthly newsletter that connects you with the work entrepreneurs are doing in Boise. We highlight what's moving in Boise's entrepreneurial ecosystem, focusing on founders throughout our programs.

The way to access our monthly dispatch of the Community Brief is by becoming a Trailmaker. Trailmaker is our newest monthly contribution membership geared toward folks who want to stay involved in what Trailhead is doing, even if they don't need a full desk membership.

If you want to check out our first edition of the Community Brief and see what we're building, you can read it here: https://hubs.li/Q04jQqhW0
