About Us

The Beginning of Trailhead

A few years ago, a group of experienced entrepreneurs came together with a vision to create a community where anyone with an idea can receive the mentoring and the experience needed to succeed in the startup world. Trailhead (TH) was launched in 2015 based on the vision of the founders, the city of Boise, and key business partners throughout the Treasure Valley.
