We're excited to relaunch our "Pay It FWD" initiative for 2025, designed to create opportunities for students, startups, freelancers, and small businesses. This inclusivity fosters collaboration and innovation from all stages of business.
Through our Pay It FWD initiative, businesses and individuals can purchase or sponsor tickets to FWD Fest and gift them to deserving students, early-stage startups, freelancers, and small businesses (with fewer than 3 employees).
Your contribution can make a significant impact by providing access to invaluable networking, learning, and growth opportunities for those just starting out.
Simply purchase a Pay It FWD ticket at the checkout. Easy.

Choose the number of tickets you’d like to gift for the Pay It FWD initiative when purchasing your own ticket, or just purchase a Pay It FWD ticket.
We will match your ticket with a deserving student, startup, freelancer, or small business based on their applications and needs.
Know that your contribution is helping to build a brighter future for the next generation of innovators.
We know getting started it hard, so with help from the business community we'd like to accelerate your launch to success.
