I'm a long time Boulder resident (10 years with a 3 year stint in NYC). I'm also co-founder and CTO at OpDemand. Our office is on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder. AMA. ;)
Boulder is a fantastic place for startups, but keep in mind it's a city of 100k people. I happen to love that; others find it limiting. The community is very supportive, everyone knows everyone, etc. The bar/nightlife scene is better than your typical college town, plus Denver is close if you want bigger clubs/DJs/bands -- and don't forget Red Rocks. The most amazing thing to me, though, is the food scene. The quantity and quality of restaurants rivals big cities, and has to be seen (or tasted) to be believed.
Feel free to PM me if you have more questions re: pot, etc.
- gotrecruit 13y agohey thanks for responding. i did not realize it's so small with only 100k people, but i think i might actually like such a small community. and i do find the fact that there are many great restaurants there to be a tremendous plus. and according to craigslist, the rent isn't that crazy either - i see many places going for less than $1,000 a month which is what i'm paying for a 1-br right now in coral gables. re: pot - as mentioned, i AM a big smoker (vaper to be exact). how has the scene changed since the legalization? if you're not comfortable sharing in public, just let me know and i'll pm you in private!
- gotrecruit 13y agooh on a more serious topic: how hard is it to recruit developers and engineers in boulder? i'm a non-technical founder who is returning to school for CS, but i don't want to be limited to recruiting just fellow students who may not have what i need.
