CXO Summit

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.
