Huge asset to entrepreneurs here in Colorado
1448_ 10/7/2013 -
We are talking with Chris Onan, Managing Director of Galvanize, and he's been a venture capitalist and strategy consultant for years. There is so much happening in the marketplace, high tech and everything else, we asked Chris for an overview of what he sees happening. He said one of the exciting things for Colorado is that milennials are moving here in greater numbers than to any city in the country, and that's not per capita, that's aggregate. There are a number of reasons, it's a beautiful place to live, centrally located, we have a major airport. It's relatively cost effective to start a business here, the tax rates are lower and you've got a mid-western ethos where you can get a cup of coffee with just about anyone. Guys like David Cohen and Brad Feld and Steve Halstead will give you a cup of coffee. It doesn't happen in Silicon Valley or New York - and it's a huge asset to entrepreneurs that are here in Colorado. TechStars, literally taking over the world recently opening in London and beyond, headquartered here - all together, it's just drawn a ton of entrepreneurial activity and attention here. And Galvanize, we're kind of drafting on that and we fit right in to the broader trend in Colorado, becoming a very prominent place for entrepreneurial and tech activity. One of the challenges talked about for this area is getting a big company to headquarter here. Chris doesn't agree, saying...

Search Engine Optimization continues to morph
1453_ 10/14/2013 -
Ray Hutchins, founder of Denver Web Services, goes onto say, "Now days, everyone is trying to get themselves ranked higher - everybody! It used to be just a small number of businesses but now, it's just crazy. Your choices are to get yourself ranked high in the search engines for certain key words in the organic or free search results - or you can play Google's game and buy ads which they are putting on the same page, in positions more prominent than the organic free results. So your options are you can pay money for Search Engine Optimization or you can pay money for pay-for-click ads. The advantage to pay-for-click ads [if you can figure that campaign out] is the results are instantaneous. You can put your ads up today and , conceivably get results today. Although it's pretty complicated and a lot of people don't want to take on the mental challenge, but it's doable. With Search Engine Optimization, it takes time to get ranked. Depending on the keywords and depending on the market you're after it takes, two months best case, to six months to get ranked up there. Search engine optimization is a cross between a science and an art. Ray finds it fascinating as a practitioner and he tries to transmit to his clients, how the web works when you're trying to manipulate the results." Listen for much more...

Future plans for a privately funded Angel Capital Fund
1458_ 10/21/2013 -
Larry joined Paul Washington, Executive Director of the Denver Office of Economic Development following the 2nd Annual Capital Roundtable hosted by Betty Arkel, and Scott Berdan, Holland and Hart, with the purpose of gathering executive thought leaders in venture capital, private equity and angel capital to discuss and provide suggestions to the Mayor on Denver’s business capital raising environment. Paul mentioned this was a follow-up from the first annual Venture Roundtable held just about a year ago. A great success with more attendees, more discussions and a broader representation of the city's finest. Paul tells us, "as a result, a few things will happen. First and foremost, there were scribes at each of the breakout sessions and the scribes will compile the notes from each session."From that, a report will published and shared with the attendees as well as the public." Basically there were five table topics, of those Paul's office will look at what initiatives they can spearhead. Paul is very interested in exploring a crowd sourcing model, whereby the city and perhaps the large corporate community does a request for proposal or RFP where we basically say we've got x-hundred thousand dollars to the winner of a competition. The entrepreneurial community will respond to a big problem that the either the city or the private sector needs solved. The winner will then get the financing to come up with a business model to solve that problem. Listen for near future plans... a privately funded Angel Capital Fund...

The relationship between Business Intelligence and Big Data 1459_ 10/21/2013 - Larry had a number of questions about Big Data and Business Intelligence so he corralled Steve Dine, founder and managing partner, of Datasource Consulting. They help companies large and small to identify their data, and help integrate their data across multiple systems. In large companies that data may go into 2 to 300 systems providing information necessary to making the business process decisions. It is vital to identify the valuable data and then have the capabilities to analyze and that turn that data into information. Steve tells us that Business Intelligence, aside from being an oxymoron, is really an umbrella term that identifies different aspects to data analysis. It involves the collection of data, the modeling of data as well as the architecture of how you actually capture data and where you store it, and then accessing your data for analytic tools. So it's really an umbrella term used in the business intelligence industry for all those different areas. Really it's all about helping companies turn data into information. Larry asked Steve if he could define Big Data. Steve said, "I wish I could. One of the things the industry hasn't done a good job at is defining the term of big data. The way it's defined today is through three different areas. One is the velocity of data, that means how often that data changes and how often you actually need to process that data...
