Denver was a hive of software startup activity back in 90s. I flew in there to look at a company in 1992 o behalf of my employer (Geac at that time, based in Markham, Ontario, I was based at a subsdiary FACT in New Zealand). My lasting impression however was Freddy Fudpuckers. Hilarious name and hilarious food. Anyway I digress .... for those just out of kindergarten you would be excused for thinking startups are a new idea. For those of us with decades of creating new bugs, we have seen the locations for startups move around depending on tax policy, cost of living, and being close to a major innovator (Austin Tx = IBM and NASA as an example).
