Marc Nager
Marc has created an unexpected career of democratizing entrepreneurship. Co-founding Startup Weekend and leading UP Global, I expanded startup ecosystems to over 700 cities across 142 countries - a platform that has touched millions of people. At Techstars, as Chief Community Officer, I continued to champion global innovation. Now, as a Partner at the Greater Colorado Venture Fund, I focus on unlocking venture capital for rural America, having deployed well over $20 million across 43 companies. My mission is to bridge the gap between ambitious founders and the resources they need, leading to competitive venture returns and ultimately, more vibrant and economically diverse communities.
