Real conversations beat sales pitches.
It was Koi Pond's rule and it's ours.
About us
From a pond to a studio.
The story
It started with better conversations.
Rexburg Venture Studio started as Koi Pond — networking events built on a simple observation: traditional networking felt transactional, and Rexburg's business community deserved better. So we put people at small tables, gave the conversation structure, and banned the sales pitch. It worked. Relationships formed, ideas rippled, businesses grew.
The community kept asking for more — deeper training, ongoing groups, real support for the founders among us. So Koi Pond grew into Rexburg Venture Studio: an incubator that backs local companies, workshops that teach practical skills, and the same roundtables that started it all.
What we believe
Three things we won't budge on.
Community compounds.
Every connection made at a table makes the next founder's path shorter.
Build here.
Rexburg can grow its own companies. We're betting on it — literally.
What the studio does
Events, workshops, and backing.
We run free community events, teach workshops, and selectively invest time and resources in local companies through our incubator. Our studio space hosts portfolio companies and scheduled meetings.
