WHAT IS SILICON COULOIR?
Silicon Couloir is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded in 2012. We strive to be the hub connecting local entrepreneurs to all the resources needed to succeed: an expanded personal network, education, access to capital, connection to mentors, and leadership training.
Our Teton region community enjoys a highly educated workforce, yet is facing housing challenges in a highly seasonal tourist economy. Technology now enables businesses to launch and be headquartered locally while serving a global customer base. We believe the best way to create sustainable jobs is to support entrepreneurs who create sustainable companies. Our community is as rich in intellect and experience, as it is in ambition. We believe great things happen when the right people connect, ask questions, and learn.
The best way to start engaging with Silicon Couloir is to join us at Chance Meetings or visit The Cowork Space. Our free Chance Meetings are held on the 1st Monday each month. Join us to meet, connect, and have fun with other like-minded business leaders.
If you would like to volunteer or learn more about our Trustee Circle or Sponsorship packages, please contact us.
