Colorado startups becoming tech stars

Colorado’s high-tech community is turning heads — from as far away as Brazil — as it cranks out startups like real-time search engine OneRiot and mentoring programs like TechStars.

"I had a meeting with a venture capitalist in São Paulo and he pops open his laptop and asked me about the startup community in Denver/Boulder," said David Drach, the Denver-based managing director for Microsoft’s Emerging Business Team.
