So you want to be in the techy, entrepreneurial clique of Colorado? Look no further. Here are the best places to run into or have a conversation with Colorado’s CEOs, founders, and director-level business leaders, according to our founder, Keith Roberts.
Hipster Coffee Shops
If you’re in Denver, this is either Crema Coffeehouse, Huckleberry, or Black Black Coffee, all located in or around RiNo.
If you’re in Boulder, hit up Boxcar or the Laughing Goat located right underneath the Pivotal Labs Boulder offices.
Creative Mornings
A breakfast lecture series for the creative community, get inspired at a Creative Mornings talk from one of Denver’s industry leaders on the topic of the month.
Startups Up Week Events
Denver and Boulder both have great startup week events that celebrate and build momentum around entrepreneurship. The events are led by local entrepreneurs and hosted at amazing spaces all over Denver and Boulder.
Co-Working Spaces
Industry and Galvanize just a few of the local co-working spaces that have created symbiotic ecosystems for businesses. Rent a desk and bump into movers and shakers in Denver (plus get free coffee and beer).
Our Incredible Restaurant Scene
Colorado is home to some of the best chef-driven restaurants including Luca, Shanahan’s Steakhouse, Fruition, and Mizuna. On any given night you can run into an agency owner, startup founder or one of the members of the Lumineers.
Colorado Innovation Network Yearly Summit (COIN)
Colorado Innovation Network is a catalyst for innovation that creates a physical and virtual network of global leaders that support the entrepreneurial ecosystem, grow companies and create jobs. This yearly summit is by invitation only with the goal of including the entire innovation ecosystem.
Colorado Technology Associations Events
From the CTA Women in Technology Conference that provides direct access to senior-level women and community leaders to Tech Tours which stops in eight different cities and towns, CTA is influential. There are special events to celebrate the tech industry’s unique contribution to the local economy and the C-Suite which is an opportunity to meet Colorado-based C-Level decision makers.
The Infamous Zenman Poker Game
The Zenman poker game is a tight group of startup entrepreneurs and people that own or run software development firms, UI/UX and digital agencies. It’s a close inner circle like the Illuminati (not really) but an exceptional group of people to know… if you can get an invite.
