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.

In this final session, the Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) will join us to cover the Venture Capital Authority Program, which provides seed and early-stage startups $50,000 up to $1 million in investment capital. OEDIT will give an overview of the program background and program requirements, share the list of existing VC partners for the program, and share success stories across the state. Attendees will walk away with a “Program Fit” worksheet to clearly understand their application readiness and next steps.
