for startups and founders
Startups and founders that join SHIP become part of a highly connected, high-impact innovation network designed to support early-stage growth across every industry that touches global trade, supply chain, and logistics.
Whether you’re building in mobility, clean tech, maritime systems, automation, aerospace, AI, infrastructure, data platforms, warehousing, advanced manufacturing, or any adjacent vertical — if your work intersects with how goods, materials, energy, or information move, you’re in the right place.
Participants may attend every SHIP conference and programmatic event, gaining exposure, industry insight, and opportunities to connect with established corporate partners.
Two Signature Events Annually (Spring + Fall):
Startups receive direct access to SHIP’s cornerstone convening — high-value gatherings focused on innovation, investment, and the future of logistics.
Participants are connected with a community of peers and mentors focused on early-stage growth, technical guidance, and business development through SHIPs relationship with Gener8tor.
Founders may participate in SHIP’s pitch competitions and are eligible for both statewide and national opportunities that SHIP promotes or co-hosts.
Founders receive access to workshops, learning sessions, and curated resources that support company building, market readiness, and scale strategy.
From roundtables to innovation showcases, founders gain ongoing opportunities to elevate their work, make meaningful connections, and join conversations shaping the region.
Acceptance is determined through SHIP’s application process.
There is no financial buy-in requirement at this time.
