My favorite kind of team building

[Amy Brandenburg @AMBrandenburg]

The Front Range corridor is quickly becoming home to the largest concentration of quantum and hard tech organizations in the US. A massive aerospace economy, a premier hub for defense technology, and a deep talent pool that keeps producing founders who pick hard problems on purpose.

Thanks to everyone who came out and to my co-hosts for a great event! @konvoycapital @jpmorgan @CamberRoad

Austin, TX 🤝 @Denver_Ventures
Love it when my two favorite places and communities collide!

[Denver Ventures @Denver_Ventures]

Despite our name, we invest across the country and Austin is a place we've been doubling down on. The energy in the room made one thing clear: although Austin founders can come across as casual, their approach to building next-gen businesses is not! More to come. 🤠

This weekend we lift up all the fallen heroes and their families! We thank you for your service from the bottom of our hearts so we can live in the greatest country in the world! Jesus lift them up 🇺🇸

And that's a wrap on year three.

Nearly 150 investors and founders convening in Denver for a full day covering fund progress, founder stories, honest conversations about lessons learned, multiple cups of DV lattes, and a real look at what's ahead.

This community - our LPs, our founders, the people who showed up from day one is why I love what I do. Can't wait to do it again (but first vacation)!

[Denver Ventures @Denver_Ventures]

Last Thursday, we brought 150+ investors & founders together for our Annual Investor Summit in Downtown Denver. ⚡

Fireside chats. Founder showcases. Real conversations about where we're headed.

We walked away more fired up than ever. Here's to the builders!

Shiller PE Ratio has the Dot Com Bubble all-time high in its sight 🚨🤯👀

[Amy Brandenburg @AMBrandenburg]

@iPaulLee Great point. However those legal and audit / tax firms are not viable options for smaller fund managers. I recommend Scott Kitchens at Cole Frieman and a few other CPA firms when I talk to emerging managers.

[Amy Brandenburg @AMBrandenburg]

@bscholl @WSJ Thank you 🫡 We need more Colorado leaders and families doing more of your second point. Myself included

[Amy Brandenburg @AMBrandenburg]

T minus 18 days until tournament time

Making moves! Go @AaloAtomics

[Matt Loszak @MattLoszak]

Excited to announce that Michael So is joining Aalo as our VP of Programs.

Michael previously led the Cybercab program at Tesla, and played major roles on Cybertruck and Model Y.

He's been a leader in Austin's manufacturing scene since the early days of Tesla's presence here, commissioning the 1st Giga Texas production line, building its 1st car, and scaling production.

At Aalo, Michael will help to create the nuclear product that will make affordable, smaller nuclear reactors a reality.

Welcome to the team Michael!

“Seed” rounds

[Peter Walker @PeterJ_Walker]

Top 5% of seed rounds now routinely topping $175M in valuation.

Up 3x effectively over the last 12 months.

Just a whiff of 2021-era ridiculousness about (even as an AI believer).

[Amy Brandenburg @AMBrandenburg]

@DavidSacks @elonmusk @xai Yes! Colorado needs accountability nationally and locally. https://t.co/zF3r0TbQLF

Here is our most recent investor update (financial info redacted).

Hint: there is an Easter egg 🥚

[CBSColorado @CBSNewsColorado]

Hundreds of Colorado business leaders call for action as nearly 100 companies leave the state https://t.co/gMkytTJFyf
