Ascent Deep Tech Accelerator Opportunities for Support
Opportunities for Financial Support
Supporting entrepreneurial programs like the Ascent Deep Tech Community Showcase will give you an active role in building the University of Colorado’s pipeline of future business leaders and ventures. Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in the future of startups here in Colorado.
The showcase brings together researchers, investors and community supporters to highlight innovative deep tech startups spinning out of the University of Colorado. Attendees will have a chance to see pitches from each of the startups in the 2025 cohort of the Ascent Deep Tech Accelerator, followed by a networking happy hour. As one of Venture Partners at CU Boulder’s public-facing events this year, supporting the showcase is a special opportunity to make important connections with the entrepreneurial community at CU and in Colorado while networking in the Bryon White Club Level Suite of Folsom Field—the iconic home to Coach Prime and the Buffs.
Your support will connect you with cutting-edge startups and influential investors. By helping us to drive and energize the future of innovation, you will benefit too.
