Fantastic weather here in Colorado Springs. And the indomitable Brad Feld. Wayne wrote a great article about the morning, so go check it out. Lunch was hosted by UCCS [...]
The Ten Year Transfer Cycle in the U.S.
The United States economy experiences a recession (or other economic downturn) during the first three or so years of every decade. The capital supply to the private markets becomes restricted, primarily because lending is restricted, which reduces the leverage a buyer can achieve and lowers valuations as well as limiting access to working and investment capital.
If You Missed the Operation 6035 Event…
It was an honor to attend the Operation 6035 event at the Dusty Loo Bon Vivant Theater at UCCS if for no other reason than that the company was inspiring. Pam Shockley and Phil Lane gathered together, by my estimation, at least 100 business men & women, community leaders, and government officials for a short presentation and fundraiser.
Why is Colorado Springs such a great city for startups?
I love Colorado Springs. And not just because it has great weather, great outdoor activities, great people, or because it’s the home of the United Stated Olympic Training Center.
I love Colorado Springs because for a region of just over 600,000 people, we have a surprising amount of innovation and new business support.
