SPEAK AT A STARTUP BOSTON EVENT
Share Your Expertise. Shape Boston’s Startup Story
At Startup Boston, every event is designed to connect, educate, and celebrate the people building the next generation of New England startups. Our speakers are founders, operators, investors, and ecosystem leaders who share real, actionable insights - not just theory.
​
We don’t open a general “speaker call.” Instead, we identify the topics that the startup community most wants to hear - and then reach out to speakers whose experience fits the conversation. If you’d like to be considered for future panels, workshops, or presentations, we’d love to learn more about your background.
Give Back. Stay Connected.
WHY SPEAK?
-
Inspire the community. Share your lessons, wins and challenges to help founders and operators grow
-
Build your network. Connect with other leaders, investors and innovators across New England’s startup ecosystem
-
Give back. Your experience can help someone else take their next step with more confidence
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
-
Founders who’ve built, raised, or exited startups
-
Operators and functional experts (marketing, sales, product, finance, etc.)
-
Investors and advisors who want to support early-stage growth
-
Community leaders who know what it takes to build something from scratch
-
In short: hands-on, first-hand startup experience
What to Expect
We host in-person, virtual and hybrid events year-round - from Startup Boston Week to monthly meetups, workshops and community panels.
Depending on the topic and format, you may be invited to join as a:
-
Panelist – sharing your experiences alongside peers
-
Moderator – guiding a conversation and drawing out insights
-
Workshop Leader – teaching practical frameworks or skills
-
Presenter – leading a talk on a key topic
All of our events are focused on the New England startup community. To be considered, you must be based in or closely connected to the region; we’re all about the local community supporting the local community.
