Vegas Startup Scene December 15th 2025 - Nevada’s Startup Momentum Is Exploding!

Nevada’s startup and tech ecosystem is accelerating faster than most people realize—host Jason LeDuc breaks down exactly why founders and investors should be paying attention.

In this episode, we cover a major $15.5 million investment into Nevada’s lithium battery and critical materials ecosystem through the Nevada Tech Hub, led by the University of Nevada, Reno. This funding spans 16 projects focused on workforce development, advanced manufacturing, recycling, mining research, and supply chain innovation—supporting organizations ranging from community colleges and labor unions to companies like Dragonfly Energy and Redwood Materials

We also dig into Redwood Materials’ new statewide lithium battery recycling initiative, deploying smart recycling bins across Nevada starting in early 2026—practical innovation with national-scale implications

Beyond clean energy, this episode highlights key events and opportunities for founders and investors, including:
• The Let’s Get Techy Conference focused on AI, cybersecurity, and tech hiring
• Tech Alley Vegas returning to downtown Las Vegas with live streaming and founder spotlights
• Ongoing Web3, crypto, and founder meetups across the city
• AngelNV 6, a 12-week investor education bootcamp with vetted deal flow and state-matching funds
• A major post-CES defense innovation event hosted by the Nevada Apex Accelerator

We also talk about what’s coming at CES, how founders can get on camera, and why visibility inside your local ecosystem matters more than ever.

If you’re building a startup, investing in early-stage companies, or looking to plug into one of the fastest-growing regional tech ecosystems in the country—this episode gives you the full lay of the land.
