What Presenters Are Saying

Edward VanDyne - President & CEO

Pitching at the Golden Startup Coffee event is very pleasant, supportive and interactive. The crowd was interested in what we are doing and provided positive feedback and terrific enthusiasm. I had one investor reach out to me through my website, before she left the room. I would recommend this venue to any startup founder.

GSC is a no-brainer for any founder. It's easily the best networking event I've ever attended. Made great connections...serious angel investors, partnership opportunities - new revenue streams and customer acquisition channels for my business, small local bank directors who can help with financing, someone interested in franchising my business, and genuine friendships - a few of my best friends to date I met at GSC...and all I had to do was speak for ten minutes and answer questions. The community is super welcoming, just do it!

“Golden Startup Coffee is the most intentional and impactful startup community in Colorado. From my first experience as an attendee to working directly with the team to refine my pitch, every interaction has been meaningful. GSC isn’t just another networking event—it’s a thoughtfully curated environment that consistently delivers value to founders. If you're deciding between GSC and another event, the choice is simple: choose GSC.”
