Winners standing on stage

Hello from the NVC (and I&E) 

Thanks to all who have reached out to offer congratulations on the new appointment as the Director of the Innovation & Entrepreneurship Initiative (I&E). I am excited to take on the role and even more excited to see how we can build the program and our relationship with the entrepreneurial community of the Front Range. Some of you have asked how this new role will affect the New Venture Challenge (NVC). The short answer is it won’t. Managing the NVC will remain a key part of my responsibilities as the Director of I&E. We have great momentum going with the NVC right now, so let’s keep it that way! 

As for other responsibilities and initiatives, let’s just say we’ve got some things cooking for next year. In fact, one of these new initiatives will be announced at the Boulder Theater on April 12 at the NVC Finals. So, if you have not registered to attend, do so now. You don’t want to be the last to hear about what is coming next year! As always, thanks for your support and please reach out if you have questions or want to explore ways to get involved in the NVC or other I&E initiatives. See you soon!

Director, New Venture Challenge
