Startup Maine is an annual gathering celebrating entrepreneurship, creativity, innovation.

This drives startup and innovation within Portland and the larger Maine community while reinforcing the opportunities and benefits of risk-taking. LEARNING - Participants learn new skills, what to do and what not to do, and how they can support each other through panels, keynote speakers and workshops. BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS – Participants (local and non-local) are able to forge connections with like-minded individuals, peers, advocates and service providers that are passionate about the startup community, creating new innovations and building high-growth businesses. CELEBRATING – Participants are exposed to the community that fosters and supports startups, innovation and creative thinking in Portland and throughout Maine. They also learn about the existing Maine startup portfolio and that it’s a great place to start a high-growth company.
