The September 2025 issue of LVstartup, an e-newsletter about entrepreneurs and startups in the Lehigh Valley, has been released. 
This month’s edition promotes the upcoming Entrepreneur Summit of the Lehigh Valley on Oct. 21, which will bring together the region’s robust network of resources, programs, and support to equip, teach, and inspire local entrepreneurs.
The newsletter also promotes the upcoming Meet the Buyers expo on Sept. 23. The procurement matchmaking event is an opportunity for small and medium-sized businesses to market themselves to larger companies and organizations (the buyers) that are looking for new vendors and to diversify their supplier network for goods and services.
The newsletter shares the results of recent pitch competitions and a call for nominations for Small Business Administration awards and introduces the new director of the Baker Institute for Entrepreneurship, Creativity & Innovation at Lehigh University.
Additionally, LVstartup features a Lehigh Valley startup each month. The featured startup for September is The Foundry Recording Studio in Bethlehem.
