Startup Savannah Announces LIFTOFF 2025, An Exciting Entrepreneurial Showcase

Nov. 4, 2025 – Startup Savannah has announced that Service Brewing Company will serve as the Presenting “Pilot” Sponsor of LIFTOFF 2025, the culminating showcase for the organization’s entrepreneurial accelerator programs.

LIFTOFF 2025 will feature a Pitch Showcase on Friday, Nov. 21, and a Vendor Market on Saturday, Nov. 22. Each event will highlight the 2025 graduates of SPARK Savannah and LAUNCH Savannah, giving the community an opportunity to see local entrepreneurial talent in action and support these emerging businesses.

Both events will take place at Service Brewing Company, which has stepped up as the title “Pilot” Sponsor, underscoring its exceptional commitment to fostering Savannah’s startup ecosystem.

“Service Brewing’s journey from startup to success story makes them the perfect ‘Pilot’ Sponsor for LIFTOFF 2025,” said Startup Savannah Executive Director Nick Palumbo. “Kevin and his team understand firsthand the challenges our entrepreneurs face, and their generous support helps ensure that Savannah’s next generation of innovators has the resources and community they need to thrive. This partnership exemplifies the collaborative spirit that makes Savannah’s startup ecosystem so special.”

Founded in 2014 by Kevin Ryan and Meredith Sutton, Service Brewing Company is located at 574 Indian St. in downtown Savannah. Ryan, a West Point graduate and former Army commander, and Sutton, a SCAD graduate, share a passion for brewing exceptional beer while honoring those who serve. With the help of a dedicated community, Service Brewing has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local, regional, and national organizations that support veterans and first responders.

In addition to Service Brewing’s lead sponsorship, LIFTOFF 2025 is supported by WSAV and the Georgia Center of Innovation at the “First Class” level, and by Georgia Power, The Malin Savannah, Sterling Seacrest Partners, and Thomas & Hutton at the “Business Class” level. Their collective support helps make this showcase possible and fuels the growth of Savannah’s entrepreneurial community.
