Founded in FoCo 2023 Event Recap

On behalf of the entire organizing team: THANK YOU. You made Founded in FoCo 2023 a resounding success: our community members, volunteers, speakers, sponsors, and community partners.

We welcomed 600 community members and 60 speakers to 50+ sessions over the three-day event at Front Range Community College.

LoCo Think Tank kickstarted the event with a breakfast highlighting local entrepreneurs, followed by a keynote by Elaine Pofeldt, author of “Tiny Business, Big Money,” and “The Million Dollar One Person Business.” Our event wrapped with a celebration at The Lyric.

Like every great entrepreneur, we experimented with the addition of a new feature: The Exhibit Hall! Whether you networked over a cup of coffee, chatted with sponsors, community partners, and mental health resources, or asked our speakers follow-up questions, there’s no denying the power of bringing everyone together around the table.

Many thanks to the Colorado Enterprise Fund, the City of Fort Collins Economic Health Department, She Goes High, the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce, and many others who joined us throughout the week.

Recordings of the sessions for startups, scaling businesses, nonprofits, solopreneurs, and more will be made available in the coming weeks.

Your enthusiasm to build opportunities, share your expertise, learn from peers, and cultivate new relationships was inspiring, and we can’t wait to do it again next year.

We’re excited to dream up Founded in FoCo 2024 with you. Visit our website for speaking and volunteer opportunities: https://foundedinfoco.com
