Consumer Electronics Show Recap

Our Phoenix delegation had a tremendous representation at CES. As a first-time attendee, we were in awe over the innovation, global representation, and high-quality products on display.

Our attendance was just one of the many perks of having supportive city and economic development leaders who invite founders to experiences like CES!

Thank you to our partners at the City of Phoenix and Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC) for including Freeway and a handful of founders to represent Phx this year โ€” we canโ€™t wait to do it even bigger next year !! ๐ŸŒต๐Ÿš€

These scaling startups are hiring!

Freeway X is Coming. Join the Wait List.

We told you we have tons coming up in 2025, and we werenโ€™t joking. Our goal at Freeway has been to make Phoenix the most accessible large-market startup ecosystem in the country.

But why should we limit ourselves? ๐Ÿ˜

In 2025, weโ€™re going global with Freeway X, a unique program dedicated for founders and investors. Itโ€™s an opportunity where we can embrace being global from a mindset and a physicality standpoint - with access to global experiences and connections.

Our first partnership is with Global Tech Advocates, where we are launching Tech Arizona Advocates local chapter to build bridges with aligned international partners. Join us for an upcoming virtual Ask Me Anything session on February 17 at 9 a.m. MT with Russ Shaw, the Founder of Global Tech Advocate to learn more and be among our first members in Arizona.
