CO Advanced Industries Early-Stage

Colorado's Advanced Industries Early-Stage Capital and Retention Grant provides up to $250,000 to help Colorado-based technology businesses develop and commercialize advanced technologies that will be created or manufactured in the state. Eligible businesses must have under $10M in annual revenue, less than $20M in third-party investment, be registered in Colorado, and have headquarters or at least half their employees in the state. Matching funds from a third-party investor, federal grant, or company revenues are required, though conditional awards may be given to companies that secure matching within six months. Applications are accepted twice annually, from January to March and July to September.
