Telluride, Colo. (March 23, 2021) – The Telluride Venture Network (previously known as the TVA) is excited to announce that we are now accepting applications to the 2021 Investment Bootcamp. Applications will be open through May 31st, 2021, and companies will be accepted on a rolling basis. The TVN’s Investment Bootcamp is for startup companies that are actively seeking equity or revenue-based investment. The bootcamp is focused on serving companies based in the Telluride region and the Western Slope particularly and Colorado generally. This bootcamp will be a hybrid of virtual and in-person formats and will run from June 24th through July 8th, culminating with the TVN’s yearly Demo Day on July 7th at 4pm at the Nugget Theater in Telluride, Colorado. More information and applications for this year’s bootcamp can be found at www.f6s.com/tva2021investment.
TVN serves as the Telluride Foundation’s signature program for entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, startups, and related activities in the region and is an advocate for entrepreneurship and remote-worker resources at the town, county, and state level. TVN is just one of the Telluride Foundation’s programs to support an entrepreneurial ecosystem, which includes the Telluride Venture Fund, an early-stage investment fund, and the Telluride Regional Loan Fund, a $2 million working capital loan fund that supports rural business startup, growth, and job creation and retention in southwest Colorado. The Foundation has been recognized nationally for its innovation efforts as a community foundation, including being a founding member of the national Entrepreneurship Funders Network, along with the Kauffman, Blackstone, and Lemelson foundations, as well as having a board member role on Startup Colorado.
The Telluride Foundation exists to create a stronger Telluride and regional community through the promotion and support of philanthropy. 2020 marks 20 years of making more possible through the Telluride Foundation’s commitment to enrich the quality of life of the residents, visitors, and workforce of the Telluride region. The Telluride Foundation is a nonprofit, apolitical community foundation that makes grants to nonprofits, owns, and operates programs that meet emerging and unmet community needs, and makes investments. The Foundation approaches this work through the lens of its core values of inclusion, self-reliance, and innovation. Its work is funded through the generous support of individual donors as well as grants from state and national foundations. The Foundation hopes the community will join it in celebrating its 20th anniversary as it honors the nonprofits, donors, and community members who have all partnered together to achieve a significant positive impact on the region.
