About us
Are you tired of being the youngest person in the room by 20 years? Tired of being sold to? Tired of feeling like networking is a waste of time?
We created Upward Denver because we felt the same way.
Because you shouldn't need to move to New York or Chicago to careermaxx.
This group is a low key, approachable networking event to share struggles, connect, and share ideas for career-oriented young professionals.
If you’re an young professional who wants to plug into Denver’s young and ambitious business community, this group is for you (if you're asking if you're too old for this group, you probably are).
We meet on the fourth Wednesdays from 6–8 p.m. at local breweries in the Denver area. See Meetup events for details.

* No soliciting or hard selling. We are here to build connections for the future, this is not a lead gen or pipeline building event

Upward Denver May Meetup
Number Thirty Eight, 3560 Chestnut Pl, Denver, CO, USCome out and meet some young Denver professionals during our next meet up at 38 in Rino!
This month we're bring in Jodi McPherson — founder & CEO of Work Simplr (a Techstars '25 company). Jodi spent 30+ years inside large organizations, including helping build a higher education business from $0 to $180M+ARR at Pearson, before launching her own company.
We'll be talking about:
- What it actually took to make the leap,
- What she'd tell her 25-year-old self if she was starting today
- What building a startup really looks like.
If you’re a young professional in Denver that cares about your future, this is the place to be.
We'll keep it casual like last time, please make sure to check in when you get there.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!
