Investment in digital infrastructure is driving economic growth and the next era of internet innovation. Data center construction is booming across the country and throughout Colorado to support advances in areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud storage, and quantum computing. The dynamic November 17th session of the Startup Variety Show applies our quick-paced, pitch-like format to an interesting cross-section of players making waves in this space — from data center operators to energy providers, construction companies to others contributing key inputs to the data center stack.
The Variety Show ranks among the best ways to engage with Colorado’s Front Range entrepreneurial community. Now in its third year, Variety Show stitches together the startup scene, CU Boulder, innovators from the Federal Labs, as well as technologists from incumbent technology companies.
The Startup Variety Show puts the spotlight on the most creative minds in the area. Variety Show sessions regularly feature the following:
- Entrepreneurs who highlight promising startups from Colorado’s Front Range
- Compelling technology-oriented research from CU Boulder and the Federal Labs
- New projects from incumbent technology companies with offices in the Front Range
- Investors discussing their fund’s thesis and/or trends in investing
- Potpourri (tech and the arts, legal or policy issues, or other community items of interest)
Food, drink, and opportunity to meet other people involved in the innovation and entrepreneurship community.
