AI, Capital & Community: The Formula for Startup Growth in Nevada

Oct 16, 2025
Keynote Theater 1 - The Business Show Las Vegas

If you’re a startup founder or small business owner, you already know the odds aren’t in your favor—most businesses don’t make it past year three. But what if you had a proven formula to stack the odds in your direction?

In this keynote, you’ll discover how to combine artificial intelligence, access to capital, and the power of community resources into a growth engine for your business. We’ll break down:

How AI can save you time, money, and mistakes by automating what drains your energy and accelerating what drives revenue.
  • Funding pathways you didn’t know were available— and exactly how to position your business to secure them.
     

  • The hidden resources inside Nevada’s startup ecosystem (NSBDC + UNLV OED) that can help you with strategy, mentorship, and connections.
     

  • The formula fast-growth companies are using right now to turn bold ideas into bankable ventures.
     

You don’t need to figure it all out alone. This session will show you how to plug into the tools, capital, and community that can turn your startup into a success story.
