Celebrate Duke in Denver!

As Duke continues its Centennial celebrations this Fall on campus and around the world, we hope you will join us on Wednesday, September 18 for an exclusive, Denver Startup Week rendition of our annual Welcome to the City party. Planned in partnership with Duke Innovation & Entrepreneurship (I&E), this hybrid gathering strategically combines two of our most popular regional programs to create an evening of engagement that features both personal and professional networking opportunities for the local Duke community.  Sponsored by Stifel Venture Bank, this is a great opportunity to meet the local Duke community and learn about Duke’s presence in the I&E space, particularly as it relates to Denver Startup Week!

Entrepreneurially-minded folks will have the opportunity to connect with a dynamic crowd that includes startup founders, angel investors, venture capitalists, and investment groups. A representative from Duke Innovation & Entrepreneurship will also share an overview of Duke I&E. 

Not an entrepreneur? Not a problem! All Duke alumni, parents and friends are invited to this special gathering for a chance to celebrate Duke, build some new relationships, reconnect with friends, and meet your regional leaders who will be in attendance and can help answer your questions about ways to be engaged in the region and beyond.

Whether you’ve recently moved to Denver, work in the I&E space, are in-town for Startup Week, live in LoDo, or are just interested in spending an evening surrounded by fellow Blue Devils, we hope you can attend to forge new connections, reconnect with your alma mater, and explore the future of innovation in Colorado! Complimentary appetizers provided while they last!

This event is generously hosted by Stifel Venture Bank and organized by Charlie Kelly A.B.'00.
