Stoking the Entrepreneurial Fire at Startup Maine: Katie Shorey

Radio Maine with Dr. Lisa Belisle

Native Mainer Katie Shorey has become an enthusiastic promoter of her home state, both as the Director of Engagement for the non-profit Live + Work in Maine, as well as the President of the entrepreneurial resource hub, Startup Maine. Katie grew up in the small Western Maine town of Sweden and graduated from nearby Fryeburg Academy, before getting her college degree from St. Lawrence University in upstate New York. Subsequent experiences with partnerships and consulting in larger locales such Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, combined with a serendipitous experience with Maine Startup & Create Week, convinced Katie of the importance of sharing Maine’s evolving economic landscape and opportunities with a larger audience.
