This year's event will be looking to build on last year's inaugural success that attracted over 3200 attendees from 16 States and Puerto Rico to explore innovative problem solving, celebrate the success from local leading companies, provide inspiring speakers, uncover real innovation and share game-changing ideas happening in the City, State and Nation.

This event is not only at the right time, following Memorial Day weekend as a kickoff to summer, it's in the right place, according to the 2013 study by the Kauffman Foundation which named Fort Collins number 2 of its Top 10 Metro Areas for High-Tech Startup Density, and the recent 2015 NerdWallet report that ranked Fort Collins #6 as "America's Most Innovative Tech Hubs" ahead of Austin, TX and Boston, MA.

"Our focus with Fort Collins Startup Week 2015 is about taking the impact and energy of last year and to amplify it in attendance, deal flow, transactions, and special moments of organized serendipity to provide attendees an unprecedented value and good time in Northern Colorado," said Chris J Snook, Organizing Chair and Co-Founder of Launch Haus, LLC. "We're blessed to have amazing sponsors and the continued collaboration with CSU & Blue Ocean to have the week culminate with an unprecedented caliber of 16 competing companies in this year's $250,000 prize at the CSU Blue Ocean Enterprise Challenge."

Finals for the CSU Blue Ocean Enterprise Challenge 2015 happen on Friday and Saturday of FCSW with teams competing in earlier rounds throughout the week. http://www.blueoceanchallenge.com
