About Startup Louisville
Startup Louisville is the hub for startups and high-growth companies in the greater Louisville area. It started as a website created by Vik Chadha, founder and CEO of Scalable Ventures, and a long-time champion of entrepreneurship in Louisville. Over time, the entrepreneurial community itself has gotten behind the site and the programs associated with it.
Louisville’s startup ecosystem continues to grow, with new accelerator programs, angel funds, and university initiatives creating more momentum than ever. There is growing recognition that innovative small companies are a major driver of economic growth, and Startup Louisville aims to bring together the many resources that support these ventures.
Our goal is to be the go-to resource for anyone looking to get involved with the startup community — whether you’re building a company, mentoring the next generation, or looking for the next great investment opportunity.
