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 an excellent place to pitch your business. They say that the crowd is there for you, and they are not lying. I found new mentors and future customers. The team at Golden Startup Coffee was super helpful. They are there to bring out the best in you and I haven't heard of anything like this on the planet. So thank you to everyone at GSC.

Presenting in front of the GSC Community was a fantastic experience. It is a group rooting for you to succeed, through thoughtful questions and connections to help get you to the next level. The GSC team does an exceptional job running the event and setting the stage for a positive experience for everyone. I highly recommend this event and pitching in front of this community to anyone building a business in the front range who wants feedback on their business or investor pitch, and to connect with like-minded people!

"Golden Startup Coffee was the perfect venue to introduce my new venture, Time to Play, to the startup community. They are a group of experienced and thoughtful, connected and supportive individuals who want to see you succeed. Presenting there gave me the boost in connections and confidence needed to truly invest in the next phase of my startup. Thank you for allowing me to be part of such a great group of people."

Time to Play

"I went into Golden Startup Coffee with no expectations. I attended my first session a month before pitching and was amazed at how genuinely "founder first" the giving mentality was. Everyone was eager to support each other—not just the person presenting, but also the other founders in the room who had “an ask.”

I love how the event is structured, with opportunities for networking before, during, and after the session, as well as dedicated time around the pitches to ensure everyone's needs are addressed. When it was my turn to pitch the next month, the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and comfortable, and I’m still receiving outreach as a result.

I’m deeply grateful for this experience and can’t recommend it enough—whether you’re pitching, attending, or simply seeking support. It’s truly a fantastic community :)"

This is a great audience to practice a pitch in front of and find resources for your startup. I found the audience to be engaged, warm, and ready to help. I feel very grateful to be a part of the Golden Startup community, as everyone feels genuinely invested in helping other startup founders and wants to see everyone succeed."

"The Golden Startup Coffee crowd was warm and engaging and asked smart questions. We ultimately raised over $500k from angels in the room or connected to folks in the room, and they have been very helpful with introductions to institutional investors."

“I think the event is wonderful. We received so many leads from the experience and I'm honestly trying to keep up with all of them! This event was time well spent. As a female founder in the beverage space, I feel out of place in most startup spaces because they're dominated by tech. The audience seemed to come alive during the pitching and the Q&A. They were open and interested in what we had to say regardless of their background. I'd encourage any female founders to pitch! The GSC team is wonderful and does a great job making sure you're comfortable and have everything you need. 10/10 experience!”
