Jackson’s startup ecosystem has connections to Silicon Couloir, which describes its role as connecting Teton founders with funders, investors, and mentors. The nonprofit reports supporting more than 1,000 entrepreneurs. Its Jackson coworking space is also noted in its published materials. [1, 2]
Silicon Couloir lists Chance Meetings as a free monthly networking event and describes TEAMS as a competitive mentoring program offering free mentor support. Capital Connect publishes a pitch route for companies in Wyoming, Montana, or Idaho raising at least $200,000 at the Pre-Seed, Seed, or Series A stage. Current availability of these offerings is not established here. [3, 4, 5]
StartUp Wyoming is a statewide initiative launched by the Wyoming Business Council and Silicon Couloir; a 2025 state report identified a gap in coordination and discovery of founder resources. This is statewide context, not evidence of a Jackson-specific program. [6, 7]
The Wyoming Business Council reports that WYVC participated in the Series A financing of Jackson-based UserEvidence, an enterprise sales software company founded in 2020. [8]
