Boise venture capital & startups
Boise Treasure Valley map — Clearwater (CWAN), Lovevery, GetWhys, OurPetPolicy, and local seed capital beyond Capital Eleven alone.
Boise pairs public SaaS proof (Clearwater Analytics), consumer scale (Lovevery), AI GTM (GetWhys), and a fresh proptech Series A (OurPetPolicy, Jan 2026) with three local capital paths: Capital Eleven, StageDotO, and Keiretsu Forum Northwest's Boise chapter. Micron orbit remains context, not startup coverage.
Aliases: boise, idaho, meridian. HQ must match Treasure Valley; exclude companies that only list Capital Eleven participation without Idaho HQ.
