Nov. 17, 2025 – This weekend, Startup Savannah will host LIFTOFF 2025, the organization’s signature showcase event for graduates of its accelerator programs, in celebration of Global Entrepreneurship Week.
LIFTOFF will take place at Service Brewing Company on Friday, November 21, and Saturday, November 22. Friday’s event will be a pitch showcase from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Sixteen graduates of SPARK Savannah and LAUNCH Savannah, Startup Savannah’s 12-week incubator programs, will have up to three minutes to pitch their businesses live on stage. The event’s emcee will be WSAV’s Patty Turner, and the competition will be judged by Startup Savannah Board Member Meredith Stone, the Georgia Center of Innovation’s Madison Jarvis, and SCCPSS Board President Roger Moss.
Saturday’s component will be a vendor market from noon to 4 p.m. The community will have the opportunity to meet and shop directly from the accelerator graduates. Startup Savannah is excited to offer this opportunity to shop local ahead of the holiday season. There will also be a competition element to the vendor market, judged by Startup Savannah Board Member Meredith Stone, entrepreneur and Sunset Market founder Naja Hayward-Dobbs, and local attorney Paisley Piasecki. Judges will make their rounds through the market at 2 p.m., and the winner will be announced at 3 p.m.
