Invent the Valley’s Future
The Talent’s Here. The Ideas Are Here. Let’s Build the Future Here.
Western Mass is bursting with creativity, talent, and grit.
Now, we’re building a startup community to catalyze innovation and create the future.
This fall, Innovate413 launches a new kind of venture studio—designed to help bold ideas grow, connect founders to game-changing partners, and build the next generation of employers right here at home.
Kicking Off This September
We’re starting with hands-on events like Idea Jams, Startup Sprints, and Hackathons—monthly gatherings where people test ideas, form teams, and launch what’s next.
These aren’t panels or pitches.
They’re high-energy labs for bold thinking, skill-sharing, and rapid action.
No pitch deck needed—just curiosity and commitment.
Our Edge? Catalysts.
Early Catalyst Partners:
Most programs offer mentors. We’ve learned we must go further.
Innovate413 connects founders to Catalysts—real local organizations with pressing challenges and powerful networks.
These partners offer real tools, testbeds, tech support, and potential customer pilots. It’s not just mentorship. It’s momentum.
