Boulder sits right where the plains end and the Rockies start, with CU Boulder as its anchor school and a federal research presence (NOAA, NIST labs) that seeded a cybersecurity and climate-tech cluster most people don't associate with a college town. It's small by population, which is part of why its venture activity gets overlooked relative to Denver an hour away.
