Boulder: Where innovation is hip

Boulder is one of the hottest places in the country to launch a company. Startups there received 42 percent of the venture capital invested in Colorado from 2006 to 2009, and 8,900 businesses of fewer than 20 employees call Boulder County home.

Four industry clusters — software, biotechnology, natural foods and outdoor products — are thriving in the Boulder area, and clean tech appears to be on a similar path. That bodes well for Colorado as it attempts to dig out from a crushing recession.

"We kind of poke fun at Boulder," said Tom Clark, executive vice president of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp., referring to the city’s image as an exclusive and expensive enclave. "But we have to truly appreciate what it does to feed the innovation space in the Colorado economy."
