Register separately for the sessions you need. \nHave you been curious about what AI can actually do for your business?

SUMMARY:Scaling Your Business Requires Scaling Your Mind
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nMost founders know the business strategies for growth. What often goes unexamined is what happens internally when the pressure builds: the decision fatigue\, the isolation\, the stress that compounds quietly in the background. \nIn this session\, Stephanie Kwong\, co-founder of the Rapid Rewire Method and Unbound\, walks through how unresolved emotional patterns directly impact your business outcomes. From decision-making under stress to the mental load of carrying full responsibility\, we’ll explore what’s actually driving the cycles that keep founders stuck and what it looks like to address them at the root\, not just manage them. \nYou’ll leave with a clearer understanding of why inner work is a business growth strategy\, and a practical framework you can apply right away. \n  \nAbout Stephanie:\nKnown as the “secret weapon” to elite leaders\, Stephanie is a subconscious coaching expert with 20 years of experience. She is the Co-Founder of the Rapid Rewire Method®\, a training company teaching a proven suite of transformational tools that fuse science and spirituality to dissolve mental and emotional blocks in minutes\, unlocking greater power\, peace\, and freedom. She’s also the Founder of Unbound\, a breakthrough platform that connects clients with certified Rapid Rewire practitioners for rapid\, lasting transformation.

SUMMARY:Colorado Capital: Funding opportunities you may be missing out on- CLIMBER Loan Fund Program 
DESCRIPTION:Most business owners in Colorado are leaving money on the table…not because the capital isn’t there\, but because they don’t know about it. This workshop series is here to change that.  Each session will explore different Colorado-specific capital opportunities that could make a serious difference in your business and how to apply for it. \n In this first session\, First Southwest Community Fund (FSCF) team members Rosy Aburto McDonough and AJ Shaikh will provide an overview of the CLIMBER Loan Fund Program\, a statewide program offering working capital loans to Colorado small businesses\, up to $500\,000. We will cover how the program works\, loan specifics and qualification requirements\, and exactly how to apply. FSCF will also share easily accessible technical resources (templates\, examples\, fillable files) they share to help with the application. Attendees will walk away with a “Program Fit” worksheet to clearly understand their application readiness and next steps. \nMore about our presenters: \nRosy Aburto McDonough- Executive Director \nRosy has extensive experience as an independent business consultant in financial\, strategy and business development\, and procurement/certification state-wide. She comes to FSWCF from the Hispanic Contractors of Colorado (HCC) where she was the Executive Director.

He has held senior roles at regional and national financial institutions\, managing multimillion-dollar lending portfolios and specializing in SBA 7(a) and 504 lending\, commercial credit\, and relationship management.

SUMMARY:Rural Women in Entrepreneurship
DESCRIPTION:Each month\, the Rural Women in Entrepreneurship group inside the Startup Colorado Community comes together for a virtual hour of connection. June’s co-host will be Heather Otter\, Executive Director SCAPE \nThis hour is casual\, fun\, and easy to drop into. We talk about what we’re currently working on\, share our stories\, and pool our resources to help each other get to that ‘next step’ on the long entrepreneurial road ahead. \nThe format is simple: \n\n15–20 minute talk from our co-host\nRounds of 1:1 connections with other community members\nCome and meet fellow women entrepreneurs from all over the state to discuss current topics and trends in business\n\nFree and open to all Colorado women working in business and business support. \nAbout Heather:  \nI started my career in education—first teaching high school\, then moving into adult education and technology training. That sparked my entrepreneurial side\, and I grew a small computer training business\, learning a lot about running a company along the way. From there\, I moved into the corporate world\, helping natural gas compression companies design hands-on training programs for their field teams. Those experiences gave me a strong foundation in scaling businesses\, workforce development\, and relationship-building\, which naturally led to my work in economic development here in Southwest Colorado—supporting entrepreneurs\, strengthening local companies\, and helping our communities thrive.

SUMMARY:Lean Coffee
DESCRIPTION:Join the Startup Colorado Community for our quarterly Lean Coffee online series (register here)—an interactive networking discussion that’s tailored to entrepreneurs from all industries. Each quarter\, we are featuring a co-host from the either the founder or funder world. These founders or funders will kick things off by explaining their niche\, how they got to where they are today\, and answering your questions in real time. \nThis month\, we’ll be joined by Morgan Moutrie\, founder of Colorado Smell Goods Morgan is a Leadville-based entrepreneur and new mom who traded her professional camera for candle pours in 2022. Since launching Colorado Smell Goods\, she’s navigated the “messy” learning curve of scaling a product brand through wholesale\, digital marketing\, and a lot of trial and error. \nComing from a photography background\, Morgan realized early on that while a service-based founder is the business\, a product needs a soul of its own to connect with people when the maker isn’t in the room. By narrowing her focus and becoming a “master of one” first\, she’s built an elevated brand identity that stands out. Morgan is a firm believer that your mission and core values aren’t just fluff—they are the North Star that helps you make every strategic decision with confidence. \nThe format of Lean Coffee is simple: \n\n20-minute workshop from our co-host\n10 minutes for Q/A so you can get feedback\nBreakout Room with other community members to connect and share ideas\nYou suggest the topics\, and we’ll cover a couple of impromptu business subjects (AI\, Digital Marketing\, you name it!)\n\nWhether you’re seeking advice\, or just eager to connect with fellow entrepreneurs across the state\, Lean Coffee is the perfect place to engage\, learn\, and grow. Join us to meet like-minded founders and tackle the topics that matter most to your business. \nPlease register through Zoom: linked here.
