The Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) is sponsoring a program with Innosphere Ventures that will help founders with business milestones, strategy, business education specific to companies in Colorado’s high-tech sectors, and ways to improve the competitiveness of your future application to the Advanced Industries ESCR Grant.
This program will:

The program includes workshops focused on the grant process which will be presented by Innosphere and OEDIT staff.
