What We Are Looking For

We seek to identify entrepreneurs and businesses with exceptional potential. Great ideas are necessary but are not sufficient to succeed in creating a sustainable business advantage. From experience, we use the following indicators in selecting investments.


Management

Top-quality management is essential to capitalize on fast growing market opportunities. Execution largely determines success. Boulder Ventures looks for entrepreneurs with company–building experience, intellect, drive and personal integrity. Other traits of successful management include the ability to be open–minded and willing to accept advice and guidance to achieve mutual goals.


Product or Service

Boulder Ventures seeks to find a unique or proprietary product that will satisfy a demonstrated need and is capable of leading or changing a market. We look for opportunities to penetrate a distinct niche or competence.


Market Size and Velocity

In order to achieve a meaningful return, Boulder Ventures' companies have to access large potential markets. At the same time as Boulder Ventures tests the size of the present opportunity, we evaluate market growth, the speed of change, future competitive technologies or products, and barriers to entry.


Geographic Proximity

An important aspect of Boulder Ventures business strategy is to maintain a local investment focus while having national venture market visibility. Our localized investment discipline gives Boulder Ventures the ability to play an active role in the growth of a business and have constant, unfiltered access to personnel and business data. Visibility to top venture markets in the United States allows the partners to keep abreast of fast-changing technology and close to the best entrepreneurs and investors.
