About Deep Tech Trailhead

Charting Colorado's deep tech ecosystem by connecting entrepreneurs with resources, community, and opportunities.

Our Mission

Colorado is one of the best places to build in deep tech. Top talent is flooding in and the cost to build is far better than in traditional tech startup hubs. The area is home to a thriving startup ecosystem, world-class universities, national laboratories, and giants in aerospace, quantum, and cleantech.

Deep Tech Trailhead serves as a catalyst for Colorado's deep tech ecosystem. By connecting people, ideas, and opportunities, we help innovators navigate the landscape, accelerate their progress, and overcome the challenges of building in deep tech. More than just a directory, we're fostering a community where anyone in deep tech can connect, collaborate, and accelerate breakthrough technologies together.
