CTEK

CTEK is a public, nonprofit 501(c)(3) based in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. Our partnerships span the globe to bring entrepreneurism to diverse, underserved markets. The origin of the CTEK name dates back to 1989 when the Boulder Technology Incubator (BTI) was founded as a community-funded organization that helped local technology startups. Lu Cordova took the reins during the 2000 tech recession, doing business as "CTEK" (Colorado-Tech), and it grew from housing a handful of companies to working with hundreds of companies per year with over 8000 volunteers in the largest mentor database in the nation. Sister company CTEK Angels invested millions into Colorado startups. Both CTEK and it's companies won numerous awards during this high-growth period but ceased meaningful operations shortly after Cordova's retirement in 2005. Cordova resurrected the name "CTEK" in 2018 with a new nonprofit and an expanded mission to break down barriers to entrepreneurship worldwide. Now the "C" stands..
