We wanted to share the feature TVA and one of our alumni, Western Rise, recently received in the most recent newsletter from GAN (Global Accelerator Network).

WOW! Thank you to everyone for coming out to TVA's Demo Day last Friday. Now that we are a week out, we have had ample time to reflect and we couldn't be more appreciative of your support.

Well, we are almost there! The culminating event. The big finale. The celebration of entrepreneurship. Of risk taking, and dream chasing.

Last week, the TVA crew left off-season in the box canyon to visit Boulder for Boulder Startup Week. For those of you who don't know, Startup Week (a program of Techstars) is a celebration of entrepreneurs in cities around the world. 

Now that we are in week 5 of the program, we are sitting back and reflecting on all the frameworks that have been shared, methodologies that have been preached, and fun memories that we all created over the first few weeks.!

Here at the Telluride Venture Accelerator, our mentor network is often touted as our special sauce. For good reason, too! 

Everyone has heard of elevator pitches, and some of our friends in Taos and Tahoe have done chairlift pitches, so we figured it was time to do our own version of "Gondola Pitches" this year.
