Thank you to the 1,400+ of you who came through JUMP and the 2,600 who tuned in to BEW LIVE. Ten years after the first Boise Startup Week, this community keeps showing up for its founders, and we're so grateful.

This year we awarded more than $100,000 in cash prizes, bringing BEW's total since 2016 to nearly $1.3 million for Idaho founders.

Congrats to our winners 👇
Sonura Care, cofounded by Gabby Daltoso & Sophie Ishiwari, took home the $50,000 grand prize + the $1,000 Driving Health Award from Health Tech Idaho.

Delo Pop, founded by Angellica Delosada, won the Trailmix pitch competition and $20,000 after a judges' tie-break, plus a marketing package from the Boise Co-op. BeSpooned, cofounded by Faith Bauman, took home $5,000, and both brands are headed to shelves at Albertsons!

Special Awards:
Ingles Pa Mi Gente, founded by Erika Warner, won the $5,000 Scoggin Impact Award + our first-ever $5,000 Audience Choice Award, voted on by the room. CAMINNO, founded by Dr. Anika Stein, won the $5,000 Creating Abundance Award from In Time Tec
