Our friends at Boulder Startup Week could use our support with volunteer shifts 5/4-8!

Please sign up, share around, tag or comment at friends that could be interested.

It’s a GREAT way to give back but also meet some awesome folks AND the only way to get a sweet sweet BSW T-shirt. 🤓

Colorado Startups Holiday Gift Guide 🎁🌄

Our ecosystem is at its best when we share what we’re building and shine a light on one another, and we’ve got a small “give first” request as we head into gifting season.

We’re putting together a Gift Guide for 2025 and would love your help. If there’s a product you’ve built, a product you swear by that someone here built, or something you think deserves more gifting love across the community, we'd love it if you added it here: https://forms.gle/NBdgQ6FuBwUgbtW4A

The only requirement: it’s made right here in Colorado. Examples can be; coffee, outdoor gear, snacks, kids’ stuff, wellness items, home goods, art, anything made or built in Colorado counts.

Thanks for taking a moment to contribute! We’re planning on sharing this more broadly the first week in December ✨

As we kick off 2024, we want to recognize the overall and fastest-growing companies and their founders. The Leaderboard presented by Colorado Startups showcases the top startups in Colorado. 🏆

coloradostartups.org/leaderboard

Unlike other company lists, which are often subjective, this board uses company data to determine rankings. The rankings are determined by Crunchbase’s “CB Rank” metric calculated using employee count, funding raised, and social data. The boards are updated semiannually. If company information appears to be out of date or inaccurate, please update the company’s Crunchbase Company profile directly.Congrats to the companies taking the top spots at the start of 2024!

Overall Leaderboard (Founded in last 10 years)
#1 Quantinuum (quantinuum.com)
#2 Sierra Space (sierraspace.com)
#3 True Anomaly (trueanomaly.space)

Startup Leaderboard (Founded in last 5 years and raised less than $10m)
#1 MagicSchool AI (magicschool.ai)
#2 Credo (credohealth.com)
#3 Mentor Spaces (mentorspaces.com)

Please join me in celebrating these companies, the full leaderboard, and all the folks building great companies in Colorado!

The Leaderboard showcases the 50 fastest growing companies in Colorado each quarter. The initiative is a way to recognize the top startups and their founders.

🚨PSA - COLORADO STARTUPS SLACK IS DOWN! We're aware of this and working with the folks at Slack to remedy.

The problem seems to be related to too many messages for their free tier. 🤯! A great problem to have, but a problem nonetheless.

Vikram R. Gopalan and I are working to get us back online ASAP!

Thanks for those that flagged this and as one said "If only you could post on Slack that you were aware and working on it"! This is the next best thing...

If you work for slack or have experience with this issue let us know!
