Improving Lives through Innovation & Entrepreneurship
We exist to empower innovators & entrepreneurs
Startup Junkie is a coalition of multiple entities, brands, and programs that work together towards a shared mission of empowering existing and aspiring entrepreneurs, innovators and small business owners and helping to illuminate the path for their journeys toward success. That mission is fulfilled through the collaboration of two entities – Startup Junkie Consulting, LLC and Startup Junkie Foundation, 501c3. Through their respective programs, the Startup Junkie team has served thousands of clients across the region, state and globe for over 15 years.
Since its inception, Startup Junkie has operated like a startup, pioneering with a team of multitalented “Swiss Army Knives” and a bias towards action, working to eliminate barriers and make entrepreneurship accessible to anyone and everyone. With an outcome-focused approach, the organization aims to inspire and empower existing and aspiring entrepreneurs, innovators, and small business leaders.
For existing or aspiring entrepreneurs in the Northwest Arkansas region, Startup Junkie provides no-cost consulting and technical assistance, access to a network of subject matter experts, and a calendar full of engaging events and informative workshops. Both organizations also offer a catalog of unique programs and accelerators designed to meet the needs of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial ecosystems in Arkansas and abroad.
