Building an ecosystem for entrepreneurship in Arkansas

Startup Junkie is a coalition of entities, brands and programs working toward one mission: empowering existing and aspiring entrepreneurs, innovators and small business owners, and illuminating the path on their journeys toward success. Startup Junkie Consulting began in 2008 and formally organized as an LLC in 2011, offering consulting to entrepreneurs at no cost. To expand the reach, impact and depth of that work, Startup Junkie Foundation was born in 2015 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Since its inception, Startup Junkie has operated like a startup: a team of multitalented “Swiss Army Knives” with a bias toward action, working to eliminate barriers and make entrepreneurship accessible to anyone and everyone. Together, the two organizations have served thousands of clients across the region, the state and the globe.
