San Antonio Startup Week (SASW) is where founders, funders, and doers connect to build what’s next. Now in its tenth year, SASW has become the city’s premier event for entrepreneurship and innovation—bringing together over 3,000 core attendees and 5,000+ participants across the broader ecosystem.
This year’s theme, “From Deep Roots”, honors the groundwork we’ve built together and invites you to imagine the decade ahead. Across five days of sessions, showcases, and activations, SASW is where bold ideas take root, resources come to life, and connections spark real growth.
Whether you’re a first-time founder, seasoned investor, community leader, or curious collaborator, SASW offers hands-on insights, future-forward content, and meaningful opportunities to get involved.
