Startup Crawl 2025: Built to Launch

Startup Crawl returns Friday, September 26, 2025, for its seventh year — and this time, we’re turning the spotlight on the bold, the curious, and the future-focused.

From 5:00–9:00 p.m., downtown Fayetteville becomes a walkable showcase of the region’s startup community. You’ll explore a curated lineup of emerging companies, enjoy unlimited craft beer, discover new ideas, and experience the creative energy that fuels Northwest Arkansas — all with a soundtrack of live local music and plenty of surprises along the way.
