http://boulder.me A resource for those interested in startups in Boulder, Colorado Mon, 30 Aug 2010 21:31:57 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 http://boulder.me/when-the-economy-goes-south-launch-a-startup/ http://boulder.me/when-the-economy-goes-south-launch-a-startup/#comments Sat, 13 Dec 2008 10:28:31 +0000 Nicole Glaros http://boulder.me/?p=342 While it goes against the media, one of the best times to launch a startup is truly in down times.  Many top-notch employees are being laid off and can be obtained at well under market rates, materials are cheaper, office rents tank, everything all around becomes a better bargain.  Tom Siebel of Siebel Systems launched his company in 1993, when the economy was on a downswing, and he’s now one of the most weathly Americans.  It’s a scary time, but the most brazen entrepreneurs see opportunity – thus while the competition is shriveling up, the smart ones are making a run for it.  So while you’re worried about your job, you could be planning your next big break.  Boulder has all the resources right here; quit thinking about it and start executing!  The time is now!
