A few testimonials:

“Having spent time with several Howdy Partner Founders as well as the team on several occasions…it’s like seeing the startup ecosystem emerge in Boulder two decades ago.

Along with everyone else they are inspiring and mobilizing, they are validating far more than a thesis around investing For rural Colorado.”

“The results thEY ARE driving at such an early stage are impressive. Their ability to stay focused while still pushing the boundaries of traditional venture capital - in a rural market nonetheless - should serve as a wake-up call to the industry to expand its understanding for what is possible for venture capital broadly.”
