Colorado Resources for Entrepreneurs

As a Colorado Native born and raised in Golden, CO, I value the start-up community in my state and the resources available to budding entrepreneurs. 

I wanted to take this blog to share resources I've collected over the years. These have really helped me along the way and outside of these resources I urge every aspiring entrepreneur to find a good mentor or coach. The people you surround yourself around will make all the difference and you never know who wants to be in your corner.

No-Cost Consulting

Denver Metro Small Business Development Center is an amazing free resource! These people are so helpful. Take advantage of free consulting on finances, business planning, marketing and more. A Must!

Inspiration & Networking

Attend Denver StartUp Week. You can meet like-minded people, mingle with CEOS, developers and creatives. Enjoy speakers, events and workshops. I was on a few panels over the years and made a lot of really contacts.

Funding 

Every startup needs working capital to get moving or to scale. Denver Angels, a group of angel investors lead by David Prichard, is, hands down, the friendliest and most professional group in Denver. Check Our Their Pitch Submissions.
