We believe in the power of rural Colorado.

The culture of creativity, resourcefulness, and innovation is what makes rural Colorado an incredible place to live. It’s also why rural communities are creating some of the most exciting business opportunities in the state. At Startup Colorado, our mission is to promote a culture of potential through rural entrepreneurship so that people and places can thrive and chart their own futures. We do that by:

1. Making meaningful connections within a statewide network of resources including capital, government, educators and mentors
2. Providing opportunities for education and networking through individual scholarship and community sponsorships
3. Sharing stories about the people and places who are building for rural Colorado
4. Advocating for the long term success of Colorado’s rural entrepreneurs
