49SAF is constantly working to build a more entrepreneurial Alaska and you’re invited! We bring together investors, startups, ecosystem builders, and those looking to build new things in Alaska. Join us for programs that foster community. Take a look at what we offer — and the several other programs available across Alaska for entrepreneurs and investors.
49sAF’s quarterly events
ALLCALL
WHAT: A one-hour call for anyone to talk about what they’re working on. The goal: Open up communication lines and create opportunities to give and get help.
FOR: Entrepreneurial ecosystem builders, generally and we welcome investors and startups to share their work.
WHEN: Typically at the end of each quarter. Watch for our emails to join these calls.
Alaska angel conference
Each year 49SAF joins forces with Alaska angel investors and others to place $100,000+ into a privately held company across three to six months, using best practices, community engagement and careful diligence.
pitchfest
Part of the annual Accelerate Alaska conference, Pitchfest has exceeded expectations. These pitches are some of the best in Alaska, and the competition results in new company formation. Plus, participants get a lot out of both the event itself—from education to prize packages.
