311_Small Businesses are BIG when it comes to New Jobs
Keynote speaker at the SBIR regional conference in Denver, Terry Bibbens, Managing Director of Homeland Venture Partners, laid out the facts facing ‘small businesses’ this coming year. Small businesses created over 92% of the net new jobs in the US based on data collected starting in 1989. Businesses with fewer than 20 employees created 85% of all new net jobs during the 14 –year period. The developments of small businesses along with SBIR grant funding have a tremendous impact on ‘Economic Development’ in Colorado. Then enters the federal congressional leaders: Most don’t even have a clue about SBIR grants for small businesses and as a result could likely be dropping the SBIR program. We need to let them know so they do the right thing.

312_ It’s the Law: The New IP, Supreme Court and Patent Challenges
Is it obvious? On April 30, the Supreme Court set out additional guidelines regarding how to determine if technology is “obvious,” and hence non-patentable. How this ends up could take some time, but regardless, it will have a far-reaching impact on Intellectual Property and patents particularly those that are IT related. David Seeley and Blaine Benard, both partners at Holme Roberts and Owen discuss what is happening and the ramifications of the KRS v. Teleflex ruling by the Supreme Court that is not in sync with the position taken by the Appellate Court which was established in 1982 to handle such cases. The saga continuous and no matter how it ends up, it will impact both business and consumers. Related Links: HRO || KSR v. Teleflex || Intellectual Property || Web Community Calendar || Blog ||

The idea: Is it something you are willing to bet the farm on? Are you willing to risk everything you own for this business? You will be asked more than once as you seek funding or financing just how much of your own money and borrowing power you have on the line.

310_ Startups put stock in Colorado
Entrepreneurs plotting a new startup have plenty to wrestle with, from securing venture capital to ensuring they have the right team to transform their killer idea into a viable business. Ryan Martens wants them to consider something else — giving part of the company away before it even makes a cent. Four years ago, the founder and chief technology officer of Boulder-based Rally Software introduced a "1 percent" club to the local entrepreneurial community to encourage emerging companies to embrace philanthropy. Now the idea has gained wider exposure through the newly minted Entrepreneurs Foundation of Colorado.
