CSI SUMMITS & EVENTS

Investing in Montana Overview:  This event is a gathering of those who believe in what is possible for our businesses, our communities, and our shared economic future. Startups and small businesses are the backbone of Montana communities.

As Montana’s State Auditor, supporting and promoting business innovation in Montana is a high priority. Montana’s story is written by entrepreneurs who take risks, innovators who see opportunity, and communities that rally behind them. This summit is more than a conversation about capital. It is a catalyst for networking and acquiring information to help build and foster bold ideas. It is where passion and vision meet action, and connections take shape to move Montana business ventures forward.

Whether building a business, investing in the next big idea, or championing Montana’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, this event is designed to spark opportunity at every level. In years past, a large slice of the attendees has been early- to mid-stage entrepreneurs or those looking to scale/jump to the next level in their business/offering. This year, we will delve into the cost of capital to gain practical insight into navigating business and regulatory landscapes, explore considerations for protecting business ideas, and hear powerful, firsthand stories from those who have built success right here in Montana.
