Seattle's Startup Hub Since 2009
SURF Incubator serves as both Seattle's startup community hub and a premier corporate events venue. From 1-2 person founding teams to Fortune 100 company retreats, we've been fostering innovation and collaboration in downtown Seattle for over 15 years.
From Vision to Seattle's Startup Hub
"SURF started in 2009 with very little capital, lots of perseverance, and one clear vision in mind. That vision was to provide a stress-free setting where entrepreneurs could come, work and develop their ideas. This setting would provide the necessary support, services, and sources of potential funding to give their ideas the best chance of commercial success."
What We've Become
Today, SURF has evolved into Seattle's premier dual-purpose facility, serving both as a startup community hub and corporate event venue. We've inspired brand new startups and hosted billion-dollar enterprises such as Snapchat, Avalara, and Nutanix.
Our downtown location at 999 3rd Ave features state-of-the-art coworking spaces, versatile event venues, and a vibrant community of entrepreneurs. From float desks and dedicated workspaces to private offices and event spaces that accommodate 10-100+ attendees, we provide the professional environment where innovation thrives.
