  Hosted at Foley & Lardner (1144 15th St Suite 2200, Denver, CO 80202)
  

  RVC Investor Forums bring together accredited angel investors interested in fast-growing, early-stage companies in Colorado.

At this forum, investor members will hear pitches, and afterwards the founders are excused and investors discuss the merits and risks of each venture. There is no requirement to invest and each investor has an opportunity to indicate interest in following or leading a specific deal. Both new and experienced investor members are welcome at forums -- this is the best way to learn hands-on about angel investing!

  Presenting Companies

  

  Aspero Medical, a Boulder, CO medical device company, is improving balloon-assisted endoscopy, the standard of care for diagnosing and treating small bowel disease, which is currently technically challenging and time-consuming because pressure limits needed to protect the intestinal wall reduce balloon anchoring. Its patented Pillar™ balloon overtube uses micro-textured surfaces to increase traction and, per company data, delivers more consistent anchoring force than latex and silicone balloons, enabling deeper scope access, shorter procedures with less sedation, and more complete exams on the first attempt. The company's first product, Ancora-SB, is FDA cleared. 

  

  Green Steel Environmental is a Colorado-based cleantech company helping wastewater treatment operators cut costs and improve sustainability with Green Steel PSR™, a safer, more sustainable alternative to the hazardous chemicals commonly used to remove phosphorus and sulfur from wastewater. The technology grew out of University of Colorado research using steel-manufacturing residuals, and was pilot tested at the City of Boulder's water resource recovery facility with results published in a peer-reviewed paper. The company began its first commercial-scale implementation in 2025, and in 2026 reported that lab-scale performance has been demonstrated at scale. 
  
  

  
  

  Maia is an AI medical coding and revenue cycle platform built for orthopaedic practices. We read the note, return the codes with the clinical justification behind them, and create the claim - live in athenahealth and eClinicalWorks, with customers including OrthoIndy and Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush.

  
  

  To attend this event, you must be accredited: Net worth of at least one million US dollars, not including the value of one’s primary residence, or have made at least $200,000 each year for the last two years [or $300,000 if jointly filing] and have the expectation to make the same amount this year.

  RVC Angel Accelerator: Exit Strategy Workshop

  Friday, Oct 23rd, 2026 | 10am - 12 pm MT

  Virtual via Zoom: Meeting link shared upon registration 
  

  For both investors and entrepreneurs

  How does someone learn how to be a successful Angel Investor?

  This Angel Accelerator advances Angel Investors' learning with a combination of hands-on exercises, working with experienced angel investor mentors, and solid content and toolkits that you'll need for successful Angel Investing.

  Topics Covered in this Workshop include:

  • Exit strategy canvas. Learn the six things that smart investors know how to look for in a great exit strategy. Remember - the exit is the only way Angels get their money back! 

    The workshop starts out by “beginning with the end in mind.” The exit strategy workshop is where investors & founders will learn about building value not just for their first customer who buys their product, but for the “second customer” that is likely to acquire the company and return capital to investors.

    For those looking to create strategies around growth and eventual exits (critical for returning capital to investors), this is a must-attend class!

  For your best deal, you should consider ACTIVE INVESTOR MEMBERSHIP in Rockies Venture Club, Colorado's leading angel network. That gets you a FREE pass to this workshop, as well as the Angel 501, Practicum, and other workshops offered every month.  Active Investor membership also gets you free access to the other 140+ events we do every year including the Angel Capital Summit, Colorado Capital Conference Angel Forums and investor-only events.

  For both investors and entrepreneurs

  How does someone learn how to be a successful Angel Investor?

  This Angel Accelerator advances Angel Investors' learning with a combination of hands-on exercises, working with experienced angel investor mentors, and solid content and toolkits that you'll need for successful Angel Investing.

  Topics Covered in this Workshop include:

  Lead Investors & Board Members: Learn what it means to serve as a Lead Investor and best practices for serving as a board member.
  
  This is the workshop for investors who are interested in leading an investment deal through an angel syndicate. The lead investor plays an important role in getting the deal done beginning with showing a commitment for the deal and communicating with peer investors to gauge interest and guide them through the deal. The lead works closely with the due diligence team to make sure that all the critical questions are answered and that risk has been mitigated for investors. The lead assists RVC staff in negotiating the deal by preparing the term sheet and ensuring that the terms are acceptable to all investors in the deal. The lead may also play a role in syndicating, not only within RVC, but with outside VC and angel groups. This helps bring out of state money into Colorado, but also helps to fund RVC companies and close out the rounds.
  
  This workshop walks participants through the deal process and gives tips at each stage to drive engagement, evaluate the deals and, when appropriate, to bring in investors and get the deal done. Workshop participants receive resources to help them through the process as well as answers to the most common questions first time leads have.
