A Boise-based network accelerator connecting innovators, founders, inventors, and mentors to solve real-world problems together.
Innovate Boise is a network accelerator built to connect the people who build things. Founders, inventors, industry leaders, and mentors come together through Innovate Boise to tackle real-world challenges and turn ideas into solutions.
Their flagship initiative is a hands-on Hackathon program designed for innovators across the Mountain West and beyond. Participants form teams, select a real-world problem, develop a white paper, gather data, and build a solution, culminating in a live showcase at the Innovation Village at R-CON 2026 in Boise, Idaho this October.
If you have an idea worth building, Innovate Boise is where you start.
Innovate Boise and Reese Connect are both in the business of bringing the right people together. Where Reese Connect builds community through events and meaningful connections, Innovate Boise channels that same energy into hands-on problem solving and innovation.
Together, we give Reese Connect members a direct path into Boise’s growing innovation ecosystem, and a chance to build something that matters alongside some of the most driven founders in the region.
