Why partner with Startup Junkie

Everything we offer Northwest Arkansas entrepreneurs is free: one-on-one consulting, programs, events and access to capital. Sponsors, foundations and donors make that possible. That support funds 460+ founders served one-on-one every year, 100+ events, more than $2M in 0% Kiva NWA microloans since 2019, and a Fuel Accelerator whose companies have raised $260M+.

Sponsor an event

Startup Crawl, the Fuel Showcase, MentorCamp and 100+ workshops a year put your brand in front of 7,000+ founders, students and investors.

Fund a program

Back Fuel Accelerator, Kiva NWA, UpStart Thrift or ARise and attach your name to measurable outcomes: businesses launched, jobs created, capital raised.

Collaborate

Mentor a founder, host or speak at an event, pilot a Fuel startup’s product, or hire from the community. Expertise and access count as much as dollars.
