Flywheel Investment Conference

The Flywheel Investment Conference is where startups meet investors, mentors, and community champions who believe in helping great ideas grow. Each spring, accredited investors from across Washington review startup applications, select finalists to pitch live on stage, and invest in one or more companies at the end of the conference.

Since 2018, Flywheel has invested more than $1.5 million in twelve Washington-based startups. Many founders have gone on to secure additional funding and build valuable partnerships. For founders, Flywheel is an opportunity to gain visibility, refine your pitch, and connect with people who can move your business forward.

The next conference is May 20-21, 2026. We are accepting application to compete December 1, 2025 - January 31, 2026. Learn more about the competition at www.flywheelconference.com/apply
