Collaborate. Support. Fuel the Future of Entrepreneurship.

Help Build Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in Unexpected Places

At Startup Junkie, we believe entrepreneurship has the power to transform communities. Every day, we help founders, small business owners, and innovators across Northwest Arkansas start, grow, and thrive – building a stronger, more inclusive regional economy.

Through no-cost consulting, technical assistance, accelerator programs, and community events, we support thousands of entrepreneurs each year, from early-stage startups to growing small businesses. The programs we deploy touch countless lives across our ecosystem through real, tangible economic impacts supported by measurable, benchmarked outcomes – like new businesses launched or grown, new jobs created, revenue generated and more. Whether it’s connecting founders to capital through Kiva NWA, helping scalable ventures thrive through the Fuel Accelerator, or expanding opportunity in across communities through ARise and other regional programs, our mission is simple: to improve life through innovation and entrepreneurship by making it accessible to anyone with an idea and the drive to pursue it.
