We are an entrepreneurial hotbed. In Colorado, there are more sustainable and organic companies that are values-based. I came from California to Colorado, and there is definitely more value- based business interest here. People here are really interested in creating a life, having fun, doing business with integrity and making the world a better place, rather than just becoming wealthy.

Honestly, I have had a hard time in the past connecting with a lot of women’s business organizations. So many of them wanted to talk about fashion instead of real business information. I can get information on fashion anywhere, but I really need to know how to raise capital, how to talk to investors, etc., and I never found that. This by and large isn’t a topic of interest to a lot of women I’ve talked to. There are a lot of women who have their own job, but it is a much different level of business when creating wealth vs. evolving in a job. It’s a whole new ball game. Raising capital is a very different business skill, and I would guess that 85-90% of small businesses really don’t want to grow to large levels.
