Growing a
startup community
in the MOJAVE Desert
About
Startup Mojave
Startup Mojave supports innovation and entrepreneurship throughout the Mojave High Desert region by connecting talent, curating resources, and creating opportunities for new growth, learning, and collaboration.
Entrepreneurial
Ecosystem
It takes a diverse and actively engaged entrepreneurial ecosystem to raise a thriving startup community.
Your involvement is critical to strengthen the foundation for a new wave of technology-based businesses in our region.
Taking
Initiative
We take a holistic, long term view of our community’s health and development. We are learning how to participate actively toward an increasingly resilient and dynamic regional ecosystem — one in which all of our working and living are enhanced and amplified.
As we identify the community’s needs — resource and relationship gaps in our regional entrepreneurial ecosystem — we develop initiatives to address them.
Community initiatives include things like themes we seek to emphasize, mindset shifts we need to facilitate, and resources to create or curate to support our founders and teams.
Commercial initiatives include a wide range of strategic partnerships, and experimentation through pilot programs and new ventures.
We need your help to accurately assess and meaningfully address our ecosystem’s needs, and develop strategies to leverage strengths.
Explore our existing initiatives. Find a place to get involved.
