A deep-tech undercurrent runs through Denver this fall, building toward Techstars Boulder's Demo Day in December. The Dec 7 showcase is the region's most founder-relevant event of the quarter. In the lead-up, Mines Entrepreneurship's Startup Forum has a sharp monthly slate: nuclear startups Oct 7, a biology-and-mining frontier session Nov 4, and a Smart Money Investor Panel Nov 18. Konvoy's Deep Tech Breakfast on Oct 22 is worth a calendar block if that's your space.
