Español
Creemos que los empresarios latinoamericanos en Denver forman la columna vertebral de las innovaciones sociales y tecnológicas innovadoras, y que las nuevas ideas y la energía que fluyen hacia el área de Denver desde la comunidad son fundamentales para el crecimiento regional, ofrecen excelentes oportunidades para inversiones en las primeras etapas y son un motor económico emergente clave. El objetivo del Programa de Inversión y Apoyo a Emprendedores Latinoamericanos (LAESIP) de Blue Mesa Ventures es apoyar a estos emprendedores con educación, inversión y apoyo a redes.
Estamos buscando nuestro primer grupo de emprendedores que estén trabajando en negocios emergentes enfocados en tecnología en el área de Denver, y primero ofreceremos consultas individuales sin cargo, con talleres posteriores y oportunidades de inversión a medida que el programa crezca.
Ofreciendo talleres individuales y grupales, en persona y en línea, los temas típicos que cubrimos incluyen cómo presentar su idea a los inversionistas y cómo estructurar su recaudación de fondos para encaminarlo en la dirección correcta con inversionistas potenciales.
Además del conocimiento y la capacitación de la industria, pronto crearemos y desplegaremos un fondo de inversión de riesgo privado multimillonario destinado a apoyar a la comunidad latinoamericana en Denver y más allá.

We believe that Latin American entrepreneurs in Denver form the backbone of innovative social and technological innovations, and that the fresh ideas and energy flowing into the Denver area from the community are both critical to regional growth, offer excellent opportunities for early stage investments, and are a key emerging economic driver. The aim of the Blue Mesa Ventures Latin American Entrepreneur Support and Investment Program (LAESIP) is to support these entrepreneurs with education, investment, and network support.
We’re looking for our first group of entrepreneurs who are working on emerging technology focus businesses in the Denver area, and will be first offering one-on-one consultation free of charge, with subsequent workshops and investment opportunities as the program grows.
Offering both one on one and group workshops, in-person and online, the typical topics we cover include pitching your idea to investors, and how to structure your fundraising to set you off on the right direction with potential investors.
In addition to industry insight and training, we’ll will soon be raising and deploying a multimillion-dollar private venture investment fund aimed at supporting the Latin American community in Denver and beyond.

We’d prefer if you’d structure your message using the “Heilmeier Catechism”, which we’ve borrowed from DARPA:
Heilmeier Catechism:
- What are you trying to do? Articulate your objectives using absolutely no jargon.
- How is it done today, and what are the limits of current practice?
- What is new in your approach and why do you think it will be successful?
- Who cares? If you are successful, what difference will it make?
- What are the risks?
- How much will it cost?
- How long will it take?
- What are the mid-term and final “exams” to check for success?
We look forward to hearing from you.
