The May 2025 issue of LVstartup, a monthly e-newsletter about entrepreneurs and startups in the Lehigh Valley, has been released. 
This month’s edition shares how during Small Business Week, Bethlehem small business owners celebrated the city’s historic Main Street being named “Best Main Street” in the U.S. by readers of USA Today.
The newsletter also highlights the results of several recent pitch competitions and celebrates awards won by Allentown Economic Development Corporation.
Additionally, LVstartup features a Lehigh Valley startup each month. The featured startup for May is Sea-Gal Technologies Inc. in Bethlehem.
