We stand united in condemning acts of antisemitism, hate and violence and are committed to bridging differences through collaboration, empathy and our shared humanity.

What makes a startup ecosystem thrive? Talent, capital, research institutions and visionary founders all play a role. But in Boulder, one ingredient sets the tone for everything else: a culture of intentional generosity. Here, collaboration is not an afterthought. It is the strategy.

It was Benjamin Franklin who reportedly said, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” Well, when it comes to the City of Boulder’s new Economic Vitality Strategic Plan, I’m sure Franklin would join me in applauding the effort. But to better capture the urgency of our current economic circumstances, I steal a phrase from Walt Disney: “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”
