The Bridge Between Colorado’s Entrepreneurs and the Resources They Need to Thrive
Colorado’s entrepreneurs are an essential part of the state’s economy, employing hundreds of thousands of people and generating billions of dollars of revenue annually. Yet, for many entrepreneurs across the state, access is limited to critical resources that fuel growth.
Enter BEN Colorado: BEN is the bridge that connects our innovative entrepreneurs with the mentorship, resources, and community they need to overcome growth hurdles and thrive.
This Colorado Gives Day, every contribution to BEN Colorado fuels growth, bridges connections, and expands opportunities for Colorado’s underserved entrepreneurs, including female, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ founders.
Your support enables us to:
- Enrich our pipeline and expand our offerings for our feeder programs, specifically increasing access for rural founders and underserved populations
- Build a statewide platform that will bridge entrepreneurs from across the state to resources that will foster their development at any stage of growth
- Create pathways to success across additional verticals that have not yet been served in our current program offerings
Together, we’re building a stronger Colorado and expanding the legacy of innovation that our state is building.
“BEN is more than just another networking group that will increase the number of connections on your LinkedIn profile. The advisors and companies have each helped us to identify blind spots and solve real problems enabling our company and our people to get better.” —Ian MacGregor, CEO of Skratch Labs
Thank you for being here and for your generous support!
Your monthly contribution is crucial in continuing BEN Colorado's mission.

Background Statement
In its 10th year of operation, BEN Colorado is the state’s most impactful nonprofit organization supporting Colorado’s entrepreneurial community.
We address the unique business challenges standing between the entrepreneur and their path to growth by deploying a curated and diverse network of expert advisors to create a bridge of mentorship, resources, and community for a direct path to scaling their business.
Our organization provides…
A Community That Genuinely Cares: BEN is more than just a network—it's a community that understands the unique challenges of entrepreneurship. We provide a supportive environment where entrepreneurs find the guidance and empathy they need to keep going.
Holistic Support: We believe entrepreneurship is about more than business success—it's about personal growth and well-being. BEN offers programs and resources that address the full spectrum of an entrepreneur's needs outside of funding. Our Achievement Network is filled with tried-and-true entrepreneurs who have built something from startup and growth-stage mentors to fully commercialized enterprises. Our advisors are people who have successfully navigated the path to entrepreneurial success. There are many places to look for funding; instead, BEN focuses on bridging the gap from inspiration to commercialization, with advisors committed to giving back versus acquiring shares.
Inclusive Access: BEN is committed to breaking down barriers and ensuring all entrepreneurs, regardless of background or location in Colorado, have access to the resources they need to succeed. We offer flexible programming that meets a diverse set of urban and rural entrepreneurs where they are - no rinse-and-repeat classes and no hidden agendas.
