I can really relate as I am sure most people with a start up, to having no capital.
I as I metioned before live in MN jsut south of the Twin Cities. I have a very successful company but in the starting months and years I asked everyone I knew, banks, investors..etc, to invest. They all laughed. If your not a trucker or farmer, or an illegal alien trying to open a tobacco store, we will not give you money is their motto.
But, like you at this point, when the banks are calling me off the hook, and the investors are begging, I give them the good ole' bird.
I am surprised to hear of the start up in Boulder. I wish it was like that here. I can't even get a decent BA to give me an assesment. It's a joke.
Well good luck to you. Mabye this will be a "small world" story.
thanks

Thank you for posting this. I just interviewed David Cohen last night and I think he's one of Boulder's finest example of the limitless possibilities of bringing talented people together under one roof to do good work in the world. I'm excited to see what comes out of Boulder next.

@Eric: I've heard Boulder compared to Disneyland for grown-ups. If you're a startup, I think it's doubly true!
