What We Are

Networking for the Missoula area start-up and small business community offering peer support for current and aspiring entrepreneurs.

The Hellgate Venture Network is a community of Missoula entrepreneurs that meets monthly. It was founded in March of 2009 by Paul Gladen and Dawn McGee. Being a leader of a business is often isolating, so Paul and Dawn decided to offer peer-to-peer mentorship and support by hosting a gathering once a month. People who are not from Missoula often ask about the name – the steep gorge cut by the Clark Fork to the east of the Missoula Valley is known as Hellgate Canyon.
