Program Description
The Boulder Innovation Center encourages ALL early stage businesses to apply for our services. If we are not able to help you with the Boulder Innovation Center’s resources, we will make every effort to point you in the right direction of someone who can.

Please take a look at the Boulder Area Program Overview Page to get a sense of how we engage with clients.  Below you will find examples of a few common characteristics shared by our more successful clients. 

Location
The business is located along the Range of Colorado. We’ve worked with clients from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs although mainly in the Boulder or Denver area.

Industry Focus
The Boulder Innovation Center will consider ALL new businesses. Our greatest success stories center around the following industries:
* Natural and Organic
* Software
* Renewable & Sustainable Energy
* Bioscience
* Nanotechnology, Optical and Engineered Products
* Space & Aerospace Technology

Additional Client Characteristics
Business-Building Assistance is Required
Often times it takes many steps to achieve the goals set forth by entrepreneurs and their management teams. The Business Program will help you understand and formulate a plan to successfully address your critical success factors.

Limited Capital Invested
Our Clients have typically bootstrapped the business to get to where they are today or maybe they have borrowed the money from friends and family. Our Business Program & pitch prep process can prepare entrepreneurs for professional (Angel, Venture Capital, etc…) investment and can springboard Clients into the investment spotlight.

An Open Mind
A key determinant in the success of past Boulder Innovation Center Clients has been a willingness to learn from some of the best and brightest in their industry and truly listen to what these Advisors have to say.

A Significant Growth Opportunity
The good news is your company has lots of options for growth, the challenge is deciding which one to pursue given limited capital and resources. The Boulder Innovation Center and its Advisor pool can help you evaluate your options and set a course for success.
