Helping existing businesses grow and expand 1180_ 3/19/12 - We're talking to a very popular guy, he works for the Governor's Office of Economic Development and International Trade as a relationship manager. That means he primarily works in business retention and expansion, helping existing businesses grow and expand their businesses, but also working to keep businesses here in the State of Colorado. In addition to this, Sam Bailey is also the program director for Colorado Companies to Watch. Sam says they're really the sales team for the State of Colorado, selling Colorado, promoting and really making this a great place not just to live and play, but also to conduct business. Larry asked, "Sam you run into and see all different kinds of businesses not only with CCTW, but obviously with OEDIT. With all the things we've been through in the last couple of years, can you give us a handle on the challenges businesses might be facing this coming year?" Sam pointed out, "One of the big issues that we're seeing is access to capital. Companies want to grow, but they are really looking for that backing to help them grow, grants, small business loans, venture capital. Banks are still at that point where they're still evaluating the risks, are not lending as much as they used to. So companies are really struggling to find that liquidity or access to capital to help expand, make capital investments in their company, acquire new equipment - So that's one issue that we've seen. Another issue is workforce, and that's throughout the state. Issue that there is a skills mismatch. We've got jobs here in the state, but having a trained, skilled workforce to fill those jobs is hard. So we're working with local institutions, higher education, community colleges, other industry associations to identify how can we be better at training our workers here in the state of Colorado so they can fill those positions with workers here in the state. Sam described the focus of Colorado Companies to Watch. "We're focused on second stage companies. In Colorado these are privately held, headquartered in Colorado, have between six to 99 employees, and have revenues between $750k to $50M. These are full startup companies, so they're really set to take off. The reason we focus on these companies is they make up roughly 8% of Colorado's economy, yet they account for almost 35% of all the jobs created." There's more...

Education Resources and Networks Around the World
1380_ 5/6/13 -
Arlen Meyers, MD, MBA came to Colorado 37 years ago - since we've known him, he has always been a force to deal with. He is a professor at the CU School of Medicine, Department of Otolaryngology and he is President and CEO of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs. Bottom line is he is involved in so much, if you haven't heard about him yet, you will, as we begin this series ...Arlen tells us, "The Society of Physician Entrepreneurs (SoPE) is a global, non-profit bio-medical and health innovation and entrepreneurship network. Basically our mission is to help doctors and other health professionals get their ideas to patients. We do that by providing them with education resources and networks around the world and we officially launched it as a not-for-profit in January 2011. We've scaled it to several 10s of thousands of people in our community around the world." The focus is on biomedical and health innovation. Biomedical typically means drugs, devices, diagnostics, vaccines, things that require FDA approval for sales and manufacturing in the United States. Health innovation typically has to do with digital health - that is the application of information and communications technologies to health, business process innovation, care delivery innovations, system innovation. So, a lot of community based physicians don't have the interest or wherewithal to develop a drug because it takes so long and costs so much money and usually are the result of research activities in a major research university. But our community is interested in getting their ideas to patients. And most of those ideas have to do with patient portal ideas, iPhone Apps, digital tele medicine, big data, analytics, remote sensing, care delivery, chronic disease management, those sorts of things, with the focus of adding value to the system. We asked if people who are not doctors can get involved with SoPE. Arlen said, "Absolutely, and we intentionally created it that way. Otherwise..." listen for more...

Jason Mendelson, VC Investments, Glue and Community 1221_ 6/11/12 - Sometimes, a person can really surprise you. We're talking with the very serious, local business mogul, JD, part-time professor, volunteer, and very busy telephone personality, Jason Mendelson, founder of the Foundry Group here in Boulder, Colorado. You will have to listen to this interview to understand that opening and it will be worth your time.
We're at the Glue conference and Jason said, "You know it's just such a great conference. It's all these companies that the average person is never going to know exists - but if they didn't exist their entire Internet world would fall apart. It's just amazing looking at all these things; they're making other people's lives easier. In fact, most of these companies are making developer's lives easier. There are companies like Cloudabilty, for instance. Today you've got a developer with a dozen spread sheets just trying to manage their web architecture across the cloud. So one service does it all. You can see everything, how much your paying, what the loads are, and from one dashboard, see everything that's going on in your company. Or other companies, one of our new investments, a company called SendGrid, a very gluey company in our world. Jason puts a lot of time into volunteering with CU and other organizations; we asked what he was looking at today. "Well from a volunteer standpoint he is still very much into the Silicon Flatirons and what they're doing at the University of Colorado. Our buddies Phil Weiser, Brad Bernthal and Paul Ohm who has now taken a temporary position with the FTC - 'privacy god', these guys are just unbelievable. It's not just what they're doing for the students, but what they're doing for the community. Jason and his partner Brad Feld are coming out with a second edition of their book, Venture Deals which will be geared toward students. Starting even earlier in the process to help students have a view into what entrepreneurism and venture capital looks like. Then on the other hand, TechStars, that is one of the hubs of our community here and rapidly spreading across the nation. Spending time with these young, awesome entrepreneurs and really trying to help them accelerate their business.
