SURF is an entrepreneur network founded in 2009 by Seaton Gras. It was originally conceived as a way to provide mentorship and meeting space for entrepreneurs starting businesses with a technical programming requirement. For two years entrepreneurs congregated at various locations around Seattle to collaborate on development projects and explore
their “big ideas.” The community quickly grew to over 1000 members. It is a curated collection of creative companies.
In 2014, SURF leased a floor of class A office space in downtown Seattle Wells Fargo Building. Since it’s inception SURF has evolved into a community of entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, developers, designers, educators, and a breath of community supporters. SURF is a resource network for entrepreneurs eager to transform their ideas and startups into disruptive businesses.
Currently SURF has about 45 startups with a total headcount of about 160. SURF hosts about 500 events per year with a primary focus on technology.
