A new angel network in Denver! I'm looking forward to helping out.

What the newly merged Team Catapult and Team EkonX are building towards in EkonX.io is a fully functioning Market Network – i.e., a marketplace that facilitates interactions and transactions among appropriate entrepreneurs, advisors and investors within a business development context. We deliver these values primarily through the engagement of what we call Community Partners (CPs), which are all educational institutions, business incubators, professional associations and government agencies focused on mentoring, as they’re at the foundation of ALL entrepreneurial ecosystems globally.

The Enterpreneurial Standards Forum (www.ES2F.org) was started in early 2005 as a part of the DaVinci Institute to serve as an open, non-profit, standards-making body that develops standards that help entrepreneurial ventures and investors to make better decisions. It was spun out as an independent non-profit entity in July 2005.Current projects include:* Building a directory of business plan templates available on the web.* Building a database that can be used by startup companies to benchmark themselves.* Developing tools for assessing entrepreneurial teams.* Developing a standard that will allow business plans to be audited in the same way as financial statements (using GAPP or ISB) and quality systems (using ISO 9000).
