2024 Startup Colorado Impact Report

Startup Colorado’s 2024 Impact Report is Here!

By Margaret Hedderman

We’re excited to share Startup Colorado’s 2024 Impact Report, showcasing the transformation and growth our organization achieved over the past year, and the tangible impact of our work on rural entrepreneurs across the state.

In 2024, we activated entrepreneurial initiatives in 51 rural counties, expanded our continuum of business support through new accelerator programming, and launched a statewide pitch competition series. By strengthening connections with rural business support organizations, funding partners, and technical assistance providers, we addressed resource gaps and fostered a stronger rural business network. This progress is reflected in the growth of our online community, the first of its kind for rural entrepreneurship, which now includes over 2,100 members.

Explore the report to see how we’re driving change, then discover how your support can help us make Colorado the #1 state for rural entrepreneurship.

Join us in empowering rural entrepreneurs and ecosystem builders to achieve even more in 2025. Contributions of any amount directly power our mission to build a sustainable statewide network of resources supporting rural entrepreneurs, so that people and places can thrive and chart their own futures! Will you help us?
