Another spring in Boulder is throwing 10″ of snow one day and melting all off the next.  Bright sun is welcoming in the spring and summer, and those of us that were welcomed here are pushing forward the invitation to you, startup lover, to visit Boulder May 4-8.

We are hosting Boulder Startup Week May 4-8th.  The startups in town are rolling out the red carpet (not really, I don’t think there is one in town) but figuratively, for you, talented developer, designer, UI, manager or startup enthusiast, to come for a visit.  There are a ton of jobs for developers, marketers, designers and managers (and we need more talent in town!).

The week will be full of coworking, hackathons, hikes, rides, parties, Ignite Boulder (largest Ignite in the world), Boulder New Tech Meetup and many, many more events.

Here is a sample of events

  • Had a fantastic time this week! Look forward to the next bsw
  • Planning to move to Boulder by end of May; this event comes at a perfect time for me! Have made my travel arrangements to be there from next Tuesday to Friday.
  • Thanks for organizing Boulder Startup Week, Andrew! My Buycentives co-founder and I are coming from Ann Arbor - it will be his first visit to Boulder. We are looking forward to reconnecting with many folks from my previous visits, and meeting more potential partners, investors and clients as well as sharing our knowledge to help others.

    'Tons of jobs for developers' in Boulder? Really? Where? How does a Boulder local (whose worked with five high tech start-ups in the last decade) make the right connections to get an interview for these jobs?
  • Excited to hear boulder.me is alive again! We're looking for someone to lead our marketing efforts. I'll try to make it out, we had a blast at the first boulder.me event a few years back. Great work Andrew.
