Startups at Sundown is a rooftop celebration kicking off Grand Rapids Tech Week—startup style.

Created by a group of Grand Rapids-based startups, the event was born from a shared vision: to bring something fresh and founder-led to the Tech Week lineup. We wanted a space that feels real, high-energy, and centered around the people actually building the future of West Michigan.

Now in its second year, Startups at Sundown brings together founders, investors, and community partners to celebrate the innovation happening across our region. It’s a space to connect, exchange ideas, and shine a spotlight on the startups shaping what’s next for West Michigan.
