It might be the shortest month of the year, but it seems like February is kinda packed with good things. Check these out!

SANESuite Film Showings 2/14 & 2/18
SANESuite is a local startup dedicated to empowering victims of sexual and domestic violence with a suite of tools. Founder Marsha Battee has arranged for FREE showings of films at the Historic Kimo Theater to highlight these issues:

The Hunting Ground will be shown on Wednesday, February 14, 2018 at 7:00 PM.
Audrie & Daisy will be shown on Sunday, February 18, 2018 at 1:00 PM.

To get your name on the list for complimentary tickets to either film, text SURVIVOR to 66866.

Startup Weekend Santa Fe 2/16–18
I’m a fan of Startup Weekend. And it started for New Mexico at the Santa Fe Business Institute a few years ago. Join entrepreneurs, developers, designers and other innovators to build the basics of a viable startup in a fun, intense weekend. More here.

A Visit from Arlan Hamilton with Backstage Capital 2/19
Arlan Hamilton has quickly become one of the most powerful voices in venture investment by “pattern matching for grit” in entrepreneurs who are too often underestimated. Learn a little more about her here and sign up for the event with Coronado Ventures Forum here.

What’s the Technology that makes Blockchain Work? 2/19
The ABQ Blockchain Meetup welcomes Nick Williams to explain the mathematical concepts that make Blockchain technology work. Sign up for the event at FreeRange here.

Rainforest Speaker Lab Presents: RS21’s Charles Rath 2/20
DataViz/BigData company RS21 is growing fast — and part of ABQ’s resurgent downtown. Learn more Tuesday night from 5:30–7:00 PM at the kickoff for this new event series at Lobo Rainforest. Contact dkistin at sandia.gov for more info.

Ski Lift Pitch in Taos 2/22
Ski Lift Pitch from Katie Rice and ABQid returns to the slopes with over a dozen startup entrepreneurs pitching investors on the way up before a great Taos run — and a final pitch in the lodge for a $10K prize.
