CTA Lead Legislation - Colorado Crowdfunding Legislation
Recently HB 15-1246 was introduced in the Colorado State Legislature. This bill will create the “Colorado Crowdfunding Act” to facilitate crowdfunding by authorizing a broker dealer to offer securities pursuant to this exemption or through on-line intermediaries who match a Colorado investor with a Colorado business that wishes to sell securities.
Bill to incentivize data center investments in Colorado
HB 15-1158 allows an owner, operator or tenant of a qualified new or refurbished data center a tax incentive for investing in IT equipment used and maintained in a qualified data center. If the bill becomes law, Colorado will be more competitive when it comes to recruiting data center investments to Colorado. The bill passed the House Business Affairs Committee and will next be heard in the House Finance Committee.

C-Level is your platform to connect
 I've been involved with C-Level for seven years and each year I’m overwhelmed by how deep the relationships grow. C-Level really is a platform for connecting and drives CTA's programming and advocacy efforts to build those connections all year across Colorado and beyond.
Large companies may come because they struggle to innovate and want to discover technologies startups are building or seek partnerships and acquisitions. They also may use it as a showcase to differentiate themselves and their products. In many ways, I see C-Level as Colorado’s version of a smaller CES.
