The Bold Betties Community was founded in March of 2014 by Niki Koubourlis, who was new to Denver and looking to enjoy the outdoors and be active with other like-minded women. She envisioned a community of women who want to bond and make friends, get outside their comfort zones, and enjoy all that life in the beautiful Rocky Mountain area has to offer. From this group and the shared experiences with fellow local women, Bold Betties Outfitters was born. By reducing both the price tag and the intimidation factor associated with outdoor adventures, Bold Betties Outfitters can fulfill its mission to help empower women to explore and be daring.
The Bold Betties Community has grown by leaps and bounds in its first year. We’re now over 1,200 women strong and still growing! In this time the members have enjoyed nearly 100 events together ranging from happy hours to ice climbing. A lot of new friends have been made, a lot of comfort zones were blown away, and countless memories created.

CxO
CXO was created by a small group of executives who were tired of being "intruded upon" by vendors and the unemployed at every networking event they attended. They set out to create an organization that helped them expand their network of influential people, without the need for Vendors, Speakers or Sponsors.
Rather than focus on "Business Content", CXO was built with the single mission of "helping influential people meet, and develop relationships with other influential people".
CXO now manages a group of 1,500+ senior officers from major US and multinational corporations. Among other things, they have been advising some of the large PE/VC firms on their more interesting deals. These "first looks" keep their corporate leaders up to speed on emerging companies and technologies and occasionally they'll sit on boards or invest personally. By filtering the best emerging technologies, they connect startup innovation with the top corporations that know leveraging tomorrow's ideas will build their bottom line.

MergeLane discovers, accelerates and invests in exceptional women and the companies they run. Our motivation is two-fold. First, there are far fewer women in startups than we would expect. We believe diverse companies are stronger companies, and we want to help narrow the gap. Second, data overwhelmingly shows that venture-backed, female-run companies produce higher returns. This investment thesis and our belief in diversity propel our commitment to MergeLane. We feel compelled to promote exceptional women leaders and the companies they run until it is no longer necessary.

“Although LiveWell had great marketing and huge awareness, we were not maximizing our brand value to the fullest. Nicole helped us plan new revenue streams both online and offline.
