Community

In 2015, Mercury launched the CXO Summit to bring our Middle American network together to share best practices for growing startup software companies. Over the past 10 years, Mercury has recognized the difference in the marketing, sales, and product delivery models of Middle American software startups in comparison to those in the East and West Coasts.

Since our first CXO Summit, we have partnered with other venture, growth, and private equity firms, to broaden the reach of our networks and resources for our entrepreneurs. The CXO Summit provides an opportunity for Mercury and our co-sponsors to bring together our growth partners, venture advisors, and networks, and their respective operational expertise, all to connect and empower our startup executives with tactical ways to build and scale their companies.

In our quest to empower underrepresented communities and democratize access to capital, knowledge, and jobs, Mercury has partnered with a variety of university commercialization centers, regional incubators and accelerators, angel network organizations and other startup development organizations. Like Mercury, these organizations are committed to connecting entrepreneurs to the resources they need for a successful entrepreneurial journey and to build thriving startup ecosystems that allow entrepreneurs to thrive in Middle America.
