Telluride Foundation

The Telluride Venture Accelerator is a project of the Telluride Foundation, whose mission it is to promote philanthropy and create a stronger Telluride community.

“The Telluride Foundation seeks to evolve and expand its programs and from its historical model of passive grant-making towards more proactive venture philanthropy,” said Paul Major, President & CEO of the Telluride Foundation. “Telluride Venture Accelerator through the leadership of the Board of Directors, will be a catalyst for the sustainable growth and diversification of the Telluride regional economy. It will start small, but if successful, Telluride Venture Accelerator has the potential to create a self-sustaining economic ecosystem bringing innovation, jobs, ideas, and a renewed dynamism to the region.”
