I took a job at a small startup for a year. It was healthy for a number of reasons -stable pay, rebuild savings -catching up on new tech I had missed while being heads down -larger teams, more socialization I had missed -time and space to decompress and process what I have learned

Colorado Springs. There's a handful of tech companies but they're actively trying to court more. We just got a Formstack office recently. There are a handful of grants available at the state level as well. The community is one of the most open and giving I have worked in. Let me know if you want an intro to people at the Economic Development Office or otherwise.

Awesome post. Bookmarked so I can reread.

I've been thinking about doing this too. Great write up.

Welcome to BuyMeACoffee Stephen! Glad to be your first supporter :)

This is really awesome! I've been hoping for something like this for a while.

Thanks @canvasduck! Leave your BuyMeACoffee link if you made one. Would love to buy your first coffee :)

Works fine for me.

You become what you measure. Core metrics at the exec/board level that defined success from inception haven't changed.
