A 10-part virtual cohort series to help emerging technology companies accelerate growth and development

Tech Venture Accelerator Boulder (TVX-Boulder)

What is TVX-Boulder?

TVX-Boulder is an exclusive 10-part cohort series designed to help emerging companies in Colorado’s advanced industries to overcome hurdles in order to accelerate growth and development. The format, topics and tangible assistance the program offers was developed from success working with early- and second-stage science and technology ventures for more than 10 years. TVX-Boulder focuses on growth through non-dilutive capital sources (so you aren’t giving away any equity in your company) and technology commercialization.

When will the next cohort be held?

The next TVX-Boulder cohort will begin in fall 2023. Sessions will be on Thursdays from 9:00-11:30 am from September 14 – November 16. Most sessions will be in person, although a few will be held virtually. 

How is the program structured?

The series combines a virtual peer group format with more than 30 hours of strategic growth consulting:
