This Beyond Profit annual celebration spotlights the UNM Anderson Center for Responsible Entrepreneurship’s third accelerator cohort—16 New Mexico–based companies growing and scaling their businesses responsibly. Among them are two current UNM students, with 64% women-owned and 86% minority-owned ventures.
Over ten months, these visionary founders are building enterprises rooted in purpose, equity, and community. Join us as they take the stage to share their first public 90-second pitches—stories of courage, creativity, and impact.
Together, they represent five sectors shaping New Mexico’s evolving economy:
- Arts & Collectives – cultivating creativity, storytelling, and shared identity.
- Food & Lifestyle – elevating everyday experiences through nourishment, beauty, and wellbeing.
- Product Design & Goods – reimagining what we make and how we make it.
- Services & Consulting – guiding transformation through expertise and care.
- Tech & Innovation – advancing technology, data, and digital tools for good.
Explore their groundbreaking ideas during our pre- and post-session mingles, and learn more about each venture for a chance to enter our raffle for a brand-new laptop. This is your opportunity to invest in possibility, support emerging talent, and cheer on a more creative, connected, and adaptive New Mexico.
Doors open at 5PM. Remarks begin at 5:45PM. Raffle at 7:30PM.
