After several wonderful years building and growing our startup community from our Bellevue Launchpad, Venture Mechanics is stepping boldly into its next chapter.
We’re transitioning from a single physical location to a dynamic network of partner venues across the Puget Sound region—and soon, throughout Washington State and beyond. This evolution allows us to bring the same high-quality events, mentorship programs, and accelerator activities that our community has come to value, directly to more founders, investors, and innovators where they are.
What’s Changing
Our
flagship events—including the
Founders Workshop Series,
Venture Saturdays,
Scalathons,
Whackathons,
Founders Monster Meetup Days,
Catapult Showcase Nights, and
Launchpad Expo Venture Conferences—will now rotate through partner spaces in cities across the region.
The
Catapult Accelerator will transition to a distributed model, delivered through our growing ecosystem of coworking hubs, innovation centers, and academic partners. Our world-class mentor network continues to expand nationwide as we open the program to startups from beyond the Puget Sound area.
Our
community network will broaden, creating more opportunities for collaboration among early-stage founders, mentors, and investment partners across Washington—and eventually, around the globe.
While our Bellevue location will always hold a special place in our history, this expansion reflects the core of what Venture Mechanics stands for: empowering entrepreneurs everywhere with access, support, and a powerful platform for growth.
Stay tuned for announcements on our upcoming event calendar and new partner locations. The next phase of Venture Mechanics is about taking the Launchpad global—and we can’t wait to build it with you.
Closing Out Our Bellevue Chapter
Activities will continue at our Bellevue Launchpad through December 31st. During this time, we’ll be holding an aggressive moving sale to find new homes for over a hundred American-made iMovR sit-stand desks, a dozen iMovR treadmill desks, several iMovR sit-stand conference tables, numerous large-screen TVs (up to 98”), and a wide variety of workstation monitors, monitor arms, keyboard trays, and other ergonomic gear—even our beloved billiards table is looking for a new home.
