About us
Welcome to New Tech Colorado!
Where Colorado comes together to discover what's next, build what's next, and meet the people making it happen.
This is a community of 12,000+ innovators, technologists, developers, engineers, founders, entrepreneurs, founders, investors, product leaders, creators, students, and curious minds interested in where technology is going next.
We explore the technologies shaping what's next — from AI, software, robotics, automation, cloud, cybersecurity, data, startups, practical and sometimes even impractical technologies still finding their way into the mainstream is welcomed. All industries and verticals welcomed.
Expect a mix of tech talks, live demos, founder and startup pitches, lightning talks, hands-on sessions, panels, tech deep dives, networking, online events, and conversations with people actually building things.
Some events are educational. Some are experimental. Some are about startups and ideas. And sometimes we simply get interesting people in a room and see what happens.
Bring Something to The Community
· Have something you're building? Demo it.
· Have an idea or startup? Pitch it.
· Know something worth sharing? Teach it.
· Exploring something new? Start a conversation.
++++Want to host an event+++++? Let's talk!
Are you a company that wants to support Colorado's technology ecosystem? We welcome sponsors and community partners who can help us create great experiences for our members.
Events may happen throughout Colorado as well as online, allowing interesting people and ideas to connect regardless of location.
We want to hear from you.
Based in Colorado. Connected beyond Colorado.

Second Thursdays, 5–7 PMOctober Special Session: MAKE IT WORK
Can I turn my prototype into a real app?
We’re excited to welcome back Stephanie Battista Hubbard, Head of Innovation at Humanity Innovation Labs and XI Mentor, for the next step in our vibe coding journey: taking a prototype and making it actually work.
From Prototype → Product
You built something. Now what happens when someone actually needs to use it?
Stephanie will kick off the session with a focused, 30-minute exploration of the building blocks that turn a prototype into a functional product. We’ll look at databases, authentication, APIs, AI capabilities, payments, user workflows, and deployment - and how today’s vibe coding tools can help connect the pieces.
Through a live demo, Stephanie will take a simple prototype and add real functionality, showing what it takes to move beyond a great-looking interface toward something people can actually use.
Then it’s your turn to build.
For the remaining 90 minutes, we’ll Level Up Your Build. Bring the prototype you started in September - or start something new - and choose one important piece to make work.
Connect a database. Add user authentication. Integrate an API. Build in an AI capability. Accept a payment. Create a working user flow. Or finally get your app deployed to the web.
You don’t have to finish your entire product. The goal is to make one meaningful leap forward.
Bring your prototype. Pick a feature. Make it work.
Come Prepared to Build
This is a hands-on session, so please come ready to jump in:
Bring your laptop + charger. You’ll be building during the session.
Access the Google Doc: Session Prompts. Have it open and ready to reference.
Create a free account with at least one vibe coding platform: Lovable, Bolt, Base44, or Claude.
Bring an idea you want to build. Continue your September prototype or start something completely new.
Save your free usage for the session. These sessions are designed around free plans, many of which have daily usage or token limits that reset each day. Please avoid building or experimenting with your selected vibe coding tool within 24 hours of the meetup so you have as much free usage available as possible when we start.
Wi-Fi will be provided on site. Access information will be available when you arrive.
Come ready to turn “I made this” into “It actually works.”
Show up ready to experiment, build, and see how far you can take your idea in one evening.
Grab your spot, show up, and vibe with us.
Light snacks and water will be available.
Anyone is welcome to attend who is interested in learning more about Vibe Coding or expanding their skills.

Save the date for You can see everything watch party
Location not specified yetThis is a placeholder for a You can see everything (2026) watch party in Denver. We will watch the movie (~3 hr), then go to a bar or food hall (TBD) and discuss the film. Please note the date and time may change
You Can See Everything is a 2026 documentary film directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim that follows disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes.
Plot and ProductionPremise: Thirty-four days before reporting to prison, Holmes invited a film crew into her San Diego home to record her daily life.
*** Scope*: The project evolved into a nearly three-hour, three-year-long look at her life before incarceration and two years into her sentence.
*** Access**: The filmmakers gained unusual, unfiltered access to Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans.2 attendees

Second Thursdays, 5–7 PMNovember Special Session: MAKE IT BETTER
Can I get AI to build what I actually mean?
We’re excited to welcome back Stephanie Battista Hubbard, Head of Innovation at Humanity Innovation Labs and XI Mentor, for the next step in our vibe coding journey: learning how to communicate more effectively with AI to build better products.
Communicating With AI
You know what you want to build. So why does AI sometimes give you something completely different?
Stephanie will kick off the session with a focused, 30-minute exploration of how to give AI the context and direction it needs to produce better results. We’ll go beyond basic prompting and look at how voice, screenshots, sketches, reference websites, examples, design systems, constraints, and iterative feedback can help communicate what you actually mean.
Through a live demo, Stephanie will start with a mediocre AI-generated prototype and dramatically improve it - not by starting over, but by communicating better with AI.
Then it’s your turn to build better.
For the remaining 90 minutes, you’ll work on your own product and experiment with different ways of directing AI. Try stronger prompts. Talk through what you want using voice. Add screenshots, sketches, references, or design systems. Set clearer constraints. Iterate, give feedback, and see how your build changes.
The goal isn’t just to make your product look better. It’s to get better at translating what’s in your head into context AI can understand and act on.
At the end, compare where you started with where you ended up - and see just how much better your build can become when you give AI better direction.
Better context. Better communication. Better builds.

Create a free account with at least one vibe coding platform: Lovable, Bolt, Base44, or Claude.
Bring an idea you want to build. Continue something you’ve already started or bring a new idea to explore.

Please avoid building or experimenting with your selected vibe coding tool within 24 hours of the meetup so you have as much free usage available as possible when we start.
Wi-Fi will be provided on site. Access information will be available when you arrive.
Come with what you’ve built. Leave with something closer to what you imagined.
Show up ready to experiment, build, and see how far you can take your idea in one evening.
Grab your spot, show up, and vibe with us.
Light snacks and water will be available.
