During our recent tour of Denver and Boulder, we had the privilege of sitting down with Wendy Lea—one of America’s foremost leaders in building innovation communities. As Co-Founder & Chair of Energize Colorado, Co-Founder & Partner of TechHubNow!, a Board Member at Elevate Quantum, and a member of the National Advisory Council on Innovation and Entrepreneurship (NACIE), she is a driving force for collaboration and impact.

In this conversation, we explore the similarities and differences between small business support and high-growth startup acceleration, the role of investment communities, the EDA Tech Hubs initiative, and the critical importance of fostering meaningful small-group interactions.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, investor, or ecosystem builder, this episode is packed with insights and real-world examples you won’t want to miss.
