Program description:

Most business owners underinvest in strategy.  They know they can grow the business further, but aren’t sure which direction is best, given all the options. Days are busy, but it’s hard to know if you’ve spent your time doing the most important things.

The TVN’s Strategy & Growth Bootcamp is designed to help leaders acquire the tools to evaluate their business strategy with help from experienced mentors and fellow small business owners, and to focus on actionable steps to help their businesses before making a plan for how best to move forward.

TVN’s Strategy & Growth Bootcamp is ideal for any Colorado-based company with a product or a service in-market (i.e., generating revenue). While there are a million areas a leader can focus on, only a few will propel their business forward. Founders will learn to step back to see the bigger picture, then zoom in with clarity to establish the best course of action. Additionally, we’ll explore how to create a daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly cadence for your company. On the growth side, founders will identify new and adjacent product or service ideas to develop a roadmap. Concrete ideas will be introduced for growing existing customers and prospecting for new ones. Other tools presented include how to financially support your company’s growth, how to create inspirational but attainable and measurable goals, and how to build a learning culture. Finally, the Bootcamp features opportunities to meet and be inspired by successful founders who will share their unfiltered behind-the-scenes stories from their journey.

Program design:

This is a two-week hybrid program for Colorado companies. The first week (February 23 – February 27) will be fully remote, and the second week (March 2 – 6) will be in-person in Telluride. Each day will include a 90-minute morning session (9:30am-11:00am MST) and 90 minutes of Q&A, discussion, or office hours in the afternoon session (1pm-2:30pm MST), leaving plenty of time to get other work done during the day.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis through January 23, 2026.

Company participation fee:

The TVN does not take equity. The fee is $1,500 per company for founders who require housing, $750 for those who do not.

Geographic prioritization

The program is available to any Colorado company, though priority will be given to Western Slope-based companies.
