One Week Away from the HyperAccelerator
Welcome back once again. I hope that last week you were able to shake off any lingering holidaze and that you are ready to hit the ground running in 2017. We are now a week away from from the start of our third HyperAccelerator program and I wanted to take a minute to reflect. Last year at this time we were starting down the barrel of a new and innovative concept of taking 10 companies through a 6 day long accelerator. Since then we have successful taken 19 companies through the program, had at least 80 high-level mentors donate over 500 volunteer hours, and successfully raised rounds for multiple attendees. We would love to have you at the 3rd Demo Day on Jan 23rd!

Deep Dive with Sitter
Tuesday 1/10/17 | 12-2:00 PM | Thrive Workplace 1415 Park Ave. West Denver, CO 80205
Sitter is an app that allows parents to book and pay their own babysitters and find new sitters through friends. Recognized as a top babysitting app nationwide, Sitter is solving an age-old problem in a new, bold way. We’re not just making it easier for parents to find new babysitters by tapping into their trusted network, we’re enabling them to book the sitters they already know more efficiently because we believe that every parent should be able to get a trusted sitter when they need one. *This event is open to Accredited Investors only.

3 Investor Forums This Week!
January 11th-13th
The forum helps to make Angel Investing fun and more efficient by pooling the wisdom, efforts and funding of many individuals and syndicating on investments. By sharing in due diligence and negotiation we are able to fund many more deals than if we pursued them as individuals. Newcomers are welcome regardless of whether they are experienced Angels or if they are just curious. There is no requirement to invest and each investor makes their own decisions on each deal. *These events are open to Accredited Investors only.
