1. About Startup Palm Beach.
What we do & How we do it.
Startup Palm Beach offers educational workshops, mentorship and funding
programs in order to empower entrepreneurs to Think, Build and Grow. Unlike our

driving positive development.
Startup Palm Beach is committed to promoting entrepreneurship in West Palm
Beach and adds value to the ecosystem by connecting students, young professionals,
seasoned entrepreneurs, makers and inventors to advisors, mentors and investors. By
hosting events geared towards entrepreneurship, we aim to curate top talent and teach
people to build skills that will help them succeed in their endeavors. Events are included
in the membership cost.
