The 50 most recent Colorado funding rounds shown here span roughly seven months, from April to November 2025, with Denver and Boulder accounting for the clear majority of deal activity. Denver-based companies appear in roughly a third of the entries — including Strive Health's $300M Series D in September and Redaptive's $650M round in May — while Boulder clusters span biotech, hardware, and food-and-beverage deals.
By deal count, artificial intelligence is the most represented sector, with eight companies — Fluint, Freeplay, Row64, Pluto Biosciences, authID, AspenView Technology Partners, Bedrock Research, and FoodHealth — most at the Seed stage. By capital deployed, energy leads the dataset: Redaptive ($650M), Electra ($186M Series B), and Redeux Energy ($30M) account for over $860M across Denver and Boulder alone. The dataset also includes Ursa Major's $100M Series E in Berthoud and Enliven Therapeutics' $230M round in Boulder, both representing late-stage activity outside the two primary hubs.
