How do you build a startup community?
1) Start with a big party like the Denver Startup Bash. 2) Add weeklong community driven event event featuring: luminaries like Gary V, over 60 events where aspiring and seasoned entrepreneurs come together and learn from one another, and throw in copious amounts of beer . Call it Denver Startup Week. 3) Insert the coolest co-working startup space in the country. 4) Sit back and watch the magic happen.
Poof you have yourself a bone fide startup community...
So now what? How do you keep the momentum going?
The answer... Create a digital space where entrepreneurs of all stripes can go to learn, connect with other entrepreneurs and plug in to the burgeoning community. That is exactly what the founders of Built In Denver have created.
The site brings together events, blogs, company profiles, jobs and more to create a virtual hub for startup activity in Denver and the surrounding communities.
The site was launched in front of a select crowd of Denver's Digital Leaders during Denver's Startup Week and included startup luminaries Perry Evans, Tom Higley and Luke Beatty.
