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:Designing Your AI Business System
DESCRIPTION:Move past the AI hype and discover exactly what AI can do for your business in our 5-part interactive workshop series\, AI Roadmap for Small Business. Register separately for the sessions you need. \nHave you been curious about what AI can actually do for your business? Earlier modules will help you understand AI and the foundations of how to use it. In the more advanced modules you will learn how to build AI into your systems so you have more time to work on your business instead of in your business. \nEach session includes approximately 45 minutes of focused presentation\, followed by dedicated time for discussion and application. Think of this as small-group consulting — not just a lecture. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and explore how the strategies apply directly to your business. \nTHIS SESSION: June 30: Designing Your AI Business System \nCompare and contrast AI assistants and agents\, define an AI operating system for a business\, determine your small business readiness\, design a simple AI agent or system component\, discuss steps to implementation\, and participate in a live Q&A \nOTHER SESSIONS \n\nOn-demand: Foundations of AI \nOn-demand: AI Prompting for Business Results\nOn-demand: Building AI Assistants for Your Business\nJune 23: AI Workflows and Automation

SUMMARY:July 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 Keegan Drake. Keegan is the managing attorney of Drake Legal\, PLLC\, a boutique law firm serving businesses and individuals. Previously\, Keegan held roles at major law firms and global corporations. He earned a JD/MBA from Duke University\, where he was an editor of the law review. Keegan believes that although talent is everywhere in Colorado\, access to sophisticated legal advice is often limited to a handful of zip codes. As such\, he is passionate about closing that gap\, to bring big-firm caliber service to rural entrepreneurs and the communities that anchor them. An active member of the Colorado Bar Association\, Keegan also writes on topics specific to agricultural and natural resource assets. \nGoing from “idea” to “incorporation” can be difficult without a legal playbook. In this session\, we will discuss the basic checklist to comply with the law and build a framework for success. There is an interactive Q&A for founders to apply the conversation to their own situations.

SUMMARY:Colorado Capital: Funding Opportunities You May Be Missing Out On - Colorado Startup Loan Fund (CSLF) with RMMFI
DESCRIPTION:Colorado Capital: Funding Opportunities You May Be Missing Out On – Colorado Startup Loan Fund (CSLF) with RMMFI \nThursday\, August 20th | 9am-10am \nMost 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 third session\, we will explore the Colorado Startup Loan Fund\, which is deployed by Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and non-profit lenders across the state\, like Rocky Mountain MicroFinance Institute (RMMFI). RMMFI will provide a simple\, actionable framework for thinking through business readiness\, customer validation\, pricing\, financial basics\, and preparing for future growth. We’ll also touch on what it means to be “launch-ready” and “capital-ready\,” along with how community-based CDFI lending can differ from traditional financing options. Finally\, we will walk business owners through the program fit worksheet\, and how to determine if a CSLF program is right for them. \nAbout our presenter: Taylor Littrell is the Statewide English Program Coordinator at Rocky Mountain MicroFinance Institute and is based in Trinidad\, Colorado. They work closely with entrepreneurs and rural business owners across the state\, supporting them through mentorship\, microlending\, and community-based education programs. Taylor is passionate about creating accessible opportunities for small business owners\, strengthening local economies\, and helping entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses in underserved and rural communities. \nThis event will be hosted via Zoom.
