Community Partners
Join us in honoring and celebrating Colorado's 2nd Stage companies
These companies are developing valuable products and services, creating jobs, enriching communities, and forming new industries.
As a Community Partner, your organization becomes part of a crucial statewide coalition of economic development groups and business and government leaders actively recognizing the value that 2nd Stage companies bring to the Colorado economy.
