I hear some form of the following question a lot from founders that are starting to have early success:

Lately when I hear people talk about the tech scene in Boulder it seems like the word “community” is used more often than not to describe our budding entrepreneurial environment.  I think the choice of this word is both significant and accurate.  To me the word community implies a sense of unity and cooperation.   From [...]

Long story short, I found myself in a jam last week and had to find a new office in Boulder in less than 2 hours.  The good news is that I was able to find a great little place that was in my price range (dirt cheap).   The bad news is that it is located [...]
