For the last 23 years, the Venture Capital in the Rockies conference has been the signature fund-raising conference in the Rocky Mountain region. A full day of presentations from companies looking for venture capital, followed by a day of legendary skiing makes for a great conference. With attendance above 320 this year, and approximately 100 were investors including a number from out of state, investing in Colorado has never looked so promising.
This year’s notables included the Honorable Mayor John Hickenlooper who was found among the presenters, sponsors and attendees at the first evening’s cocktail reception. A testament to great leadership at the government level, actively promoting business and growth.
In this town, when more than half of the 24 companies presenting could land financing over the next year, that is significant progress from past years. The allure for venture capital firms is the rigorous pre-screening these companies go through before presenting at a three day conference at the Ritz Carlton in Beaver Creek.
From Collective Intellect who hopes to sell its service to stockbrokers and mutual hedge funds to AccuCode, which uses bar codes and radio frequency identification (RFID) to help airlines track mail shipments, the caliber of companies at this year’s conference was top notch.
A significant point to make is the majority of presenting companies began as startups but most post profits in upwards of $10M. That lays the groundwork for optimism as investors and executives touted Colorado’s venture capital strength. Last year, Colorado netted more than $600 million in investments.
Those kinds of numbers not only draw out the state’s more active venture capitalists, but open the doors for many out-of-state investors who attend the conference which measured about 50 in this year’s attendance, an increase of 35 percent from last year.
It does help to have a little notoriety. Last year, an investment of $108 million in Webroot Software made David Moll, CEO a difficult act to follow. Webroot, who made the press as the biggest deal in Colorado in 2005, is definitely a success story for the opportunities and talent Colorado is engaged with. Reporting annual revenues upwards of $100 million these days, certainly, Colorado hasn’t seen its last great deal.
With the change in corporate structures, many of the emerging companies get a fantastic start by recruiting veterans and top talent. Charlie Sander, the chief executive of Boulder-based Confio comes with over 25 years of experience in product development and building customer relationships with management experience from none other than Seagate. Sander is a computer industry veteran with over 25 years of experience in product development, business management, and building customer relationships. Prior to joining Confio as an investor and CEO in May 2004, he spent 15 years with Conner Peripherals/Seagate Technology. At Conner he was Senior Vice President and GM of its Personal Storage Group helping the company become the fastest ever to reach the Fortune 500. After a successful merger with Seagate in 1996, he became SVP of New Product Development heading up Seagate’s design centers in Colorado, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Singapore. During Sander’s tenure, Seagate attained market dominance and received numerous accolades for its product lines.
That kind of experience speaks volumes to the investors that have shown record attendance in the last two years of the conference as well as investment placements throughout the year.
This year, through a non-official poll with investors, about six companies stood out above the presenters. Needless to say, the top picks also included a number of companies that looked promising.

Today, IT managers have mapped and fine-tuned processes and are starting to realize the true productivity gains of the Internet Age, Sander explained. But now they want to better utilize what they have without the high costs of adding future infrastructure.
“Confio’s technology gets more performance out of existing hardware and software by eliminating performance constraints within big applications running real time in the enterprise,” said Sander. “Finding the bottlenecks fast and effectively is an industry pain point, and solving that problem is our passion.

Aztek Engineering, Inc.
Boulder
www.aztek-eng.com
Aztek Engineering has developed a new family of network elements named “Access
Star” for the integration of legacy and next generation IP-based networks.
Founded in 1982, Aztek Engineering has historically provided custom
engineering services to telecom equipment providers and is leveraging
its existing products as a technical foundation for this new product
family.
An internationally respected leader in design and implementation, from concept to product realization across a broad range of telecommunications technologies, Aztek’s global customer base includes Lucent, Ericsson, Samsung, Alcatel, Nokia and carriers worldwide.
Aztek is pioneering a new portfolio of flexible, economical network elements
that allow carriers to smoothly transition from the legacy Access Networks
of today into the Converged Access Networks of the future.
According to Aztek, the telephone network worldwide is undergoing a
fundamental restructuring that involves replacing the traditional hierarchy
of conventional switches with a much smaller footprint of inexpensive IP-based
infrastructure. This market dynamic has created demand for a product family
comprising an essential new class of network element that resides in the
terminal reaches of the access network and integrates the “Next
Generation” IP technologies with the legacy network while selectively
providing “Emergency Stand Alone” (ESA) services. ESA provides
the capability for continuing telephone services within the local community
when the access system is isolated from the greater network; for example,
during a natural disaster.
Mark Elder, Founder and President has been recognized as an authority on access technologies. From inception Aztek has been internally funded through retained earnings, and has invested more than $8 million to date in product development. In February, the company signed a multi-year, multi-million dollar OEM agreement for Access Star, the product family based on a single, proprietary, hardware platform that provides essential services to new and installed systems at the intersection of legacy analog telephone services, conventional transport, and evolving IP technologies.

leading media groups.
AdPay serves the newspaper industry with its Click-N-Buy Classifieds™ product that enables newspapers to compete in the online domain with both classifieds, and online stores for small local merchants. According to AdPay, in the U.S., classifieds represent over $15 billion in annual revenue to newspapers—all of which is under attack by online competitors such as Google, Craigslist, and other Internet companies’ free classified listings. More significantly, the 100 million classified advertisements placed in U.S. newspapers each year have immense value for newspapers today and in the future as it is content that attracts high volumes of online traffic and is easily categorized for lucrative contextual online ad placement (e.g. banner ads and text ads).
David Rice, better known for his contributions to revenue and profitability growth in public and private companies, most recently as the General Manager /VP Marketing for Rogue Wave Software and COO for bConnected Software, Rice has secured some of the nation’s leading media groups for AdPay including The McClatchy Company, The E.W.

Collective Intellect
Superior
www.collectiveintellect.com
Collective Intellect provides trading intelligence solutions to the
financial services market. They are a provider of investor sentiment
information with a mission to collect, analyze, and sell this information
to quantitative investment fund managers.
New media content is too large for institutional investors to efficiently and effectively process. According to Collective Intellect, there are currently hundreds of message boards with tens of thousands of daily postings, millions of blogs, and billions of web pages, with thousands of new media data sources emerging daily. Often the new media breaks information first, hours and sometimes days before traditional media. However, new media’s valid information is accompanied by a tremendous amount of irrelevant noise. Institutional investors need to discern which information can be used to more effectively support their trading needs.
Using a patent-pending proprietary artifical intelligence engine and statistical language processing, Collective Intellect automatically reads and analyzes new media quickly to identify the important informational events that can impact an investor’s portfolio and trading strategies. Once these events are identified, Collective Intellect organizes the most insightful and relevant postings so institutional investors can quickly read and process ‘first hand’ what the new media is saying.
Don Springer has a track record as a successful entrepreneur who founded two previous companies and returned 500+% to his investors. Prior to Collective Intellect, Springer was the General Manager of the Business Process Optimization Group at webMethods and a co-founder of Dante Software, a venture capital backed company that was acquired by webMethods (WEBM) in the fall of 2003. To add to his string of ventures, prior to Dante Software, Springer co-founded iauthentic, a natural products e-commerce portal acquired by Whole Foods Markets in 1999. Lending to his expertise was a great track record at companies like Silicon Graphics, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Augat Inc., an electronics component manufacturer now part of Tyco.
“Collective Intellect’s management team has a proven track record of seizing opportunities in dynamic markets,” said Phillip Dignan of Appian Ventures who in February closed its Series A financing with an investment by Appian, bringing the round to $2.6 million.
“We’re dealing with the concept of exploding securities
data, on the web, where every investor’s two cents represents a potential
shift in market value. The timing of this opportunity is ideal. Collective
Intellect is seizing the initiative in the securities industry as its biggest
players uniformly press for real-time analysis up and down the New Media
spectrum.” Mr. Dignan added.

CreekPath Systems
Longmont
www.creekpath.com
Creekpath, the first vendor to create an intelligent analytical and
business management framework for enterprise storage assets, unveiled
Creekpath Acuity TM, a next-generation information technology (IT)
asset and service management solution for data storage infrastructure. Creekpath
Acuity is the first solution to align storage-related metrics and business
concerns, helping IT executives mitigate the risk of misconfigured
networks or capacity shortages, while avoiding unnecessary spending and dramatically
raising return on assets.
"The time is long overdue for a vendor to provide visibility and insight into the storage environment, and present a business-relevant view of what is really happening. IT executives are business people who need to know in concrete terms the return on storage assets, not how many I/O's a second a particular box can run," said Steve Duplessie, founder and senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "Creekpath's vision for business analytics on top of the vast wasteland of storage components provides a ray of hope that IT executives can actually accomplish the holy grail of clearly seeing storage through a business lens."
"Traditional storage resource management (SRM) software is targeted solely at the needs of storage administrators; at best, it can save corporations hundreds of thousands of dollars. In stark contrast, Creekpath Acuity saves millions of dollars per year by improving the quality of business decisions made by IT executives who are accountable for budget and service delivery," said Mark Davis, president and CEO of Creekpath. "Acuity brings into sharp focus the business issues that CIOs, CFOs, infrastructure VPs, architects, and capacity planners grapple with, delivering for the first time a solution that brings storage to the business table."

Alfred Kahn IV, CEO
IP Commerce, Inc.
Denver
www.ipcommerce.com
IP Commerce, Inc. is a software services company
that has developed an IP Payments Platform which allows payment services
to be easily bundled, provisioned and managed across IP payment networks.
With serial entrepreneur and founder Alfred ‘Chip’ Kahn IV, the company raised $2.2M in a Series A equity financing in 2005 and an additional $2.5M from insiders in convertible debt financing.
First to market with a commercial payment-s focused software services grid, the IP Payments Framework or “IPPF” enables payments over Internet Protocol (PoIP). It is the next and perhaps the most valuable embodiment of the processing and communications power of the internet according to IP Commerce.
IPPF is a partnership system that allows existing and emerging players in electronic payments to participate in an ecosystem where they can build market share and improve customer loyalty by offering a wider array of payment services that lead to greater revenue opportunities and profitability.
According to McKinsey & Company, the payments industry in 2004 generated $206 billion in revenues. It is larger than many better know industries (airlines was $134B, lodging was $114B, personal computers was $60B and film and music was $48B). The NII generated about half of that revenue, giving an estimated total market available to IPC a significant portion of $100 billion annually.
IPPF accesses existing nodes of the National Information Infrastructure
such as authorization and settlement networks involving credit card processing,
stored value platforms, the Federal Reserve system used by banks for electronic
bank transfers, check processing, automated clearinghouse transfers, and
other nodes. However, IPPF utilizes the “Payments Transaction Layered
Switching” or “PTLS” specification. PTLS is a message interface
that acts as a wrapper for multiple payment service classes and enables any
software socket to be provisioned and activated with those services in real
time using service orientation.

to the company, is less expensive and faster to deploy than proposed
alternatives because it is globally scalable –a point that appeals
to device manufacturers and network service providers.

while minimizing cost and risk.
The company launched Splat in 2005, an SQA product (software quality assurance) that helps identify software defects through visual analysis of the source code.
Sue Kunz, President and CEO estimated the market for automated testing tools
is in the $6 billion to $8 billion range, because defects are increasing
as code complexity rises, and as users become less tolerant of software that
doesn’t work the way it should. “There are lots of problems to
solve and not a lot of [automated testing products] out
there,” she asserted.
The company initially is putting Splat out for free, but will move
to a subscription model, including a perpetual license with maintenance
option.
