Why We're Here

Our Mission

Lawton Venture Lift connects entrepreneurs, innovators, and business supporters across Comanche County through monthly gatherings that inspire collaboration, accelerate learning, and strengthen the local economy. We create space for founders to share stories, gain practical skills, and build the relationships that turn ideas into thriving businesses.

Our Vision

We envision Lawton and Comanche County as a recognized lift for entrepreneurial energy in Southwest Oklahoma—a place where ambitious founders choose to stay, build, and grow because they're surrounded by a supportive community that celebrates risk-taking, values local innovation, and actively helps each other succeed.

What We Believe

Connection Over Competition

We believe rising tides lift all boats. Success stories inspire more success stories.

Practical Action

We focus on actionable insights, real feedback, and skills you can use tomorrow—not theory.

Local First

Lawton's unique assets, challenges, and opportunities deserve homegrown solutions and community-rooted businesses.

Accessible to All
