Notable Innovators RSVP Across Three Continents Making Fort Collins Startup Week #FCSW15, May 26th -- 31st the Next Global Innovation Summit

FORT COLLINS, Colo., March 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Startup Community leaders globally are locking in their Fort Collins Startup Week plans in an effort to stay in lockstep with the Northern Colorado innovation ecosystem. As a result of Fort Collins Startup Week's 2^nd year itinerary which will also include the first ever Startup Loveland Day, 25% of the States and innovation leaders from Europe and Asia have already planned efforts to be in Fort Collins, Colorado this May. Register here for an All Access Pass Free.

Despite recent proliferation of the Startup Week concept popping up in cities across the country and globe since 2010, it is quickly becoming apparent, that the independently produced and crowd funded version happening in Fort Collins has already differentiated itself from the pack in just its second year, as both a regionally valuable event, and globally relevant platform for innovators to share and celebrate best practices in innovation and discover the next crop of rising star companies and entrepreneurs.

"Colorado is a hub for innovation due to its world-class universities, leading entrepreneurial community, and pioneering spirit and there are certainly other great summits for tech leaders in Europe, Silicon Valley, and other markets," said Chris J Snook, Organizing Chair for #FCSW15. "We believe that the ticket price does not have to be the only indicator of value, and that FREE truly works when the curated conversation and social interactions is focused on moving the needle for economic development not just locally but in any ecosystem. We are proud that in just our 2^nd year we have been successful in attracting truly magnificent leaders to the event from across the world with a model that simultaneously allows for early stage founders and change makers to not make a large financial decision to be discovered and part of the dialogue." 

Notable participants in the recent week since early bird registration opened a few weeks ago include Eric Schurenberg (Inc Magazine) Stacey Ferreira, Dan Tyre (Hubspot), Matthew Lesko, Jeremy Wade (JSIE in India), Susanne Comella (Chalmers Innovation), Techstars, Foundry Group, Access Venture Partners, Tallwave Capital and more.

World Class Enterprise Pitch Competition and Prizes:

FCSW15 is rolling out the most perfect welcome party for its end of week highlight of the recently announced Blue Ocean Challenge finalists coming from across the country to compete for $250,000 in non-dilutive cash and mentorship from the founders of Otterbox.
