“Build a story worth spreading.”
So concluded Seth Godin’s keynote speech at the opening luncheon for Denver Startup Week 2013. Speaking to a room filled with 800 startup team members and entrepreneurs, Seth’s advice was more than fitting. Having recently been named to a host of Top 10 lists for the hottest startup cities in America, Denver’s startup story is more than spreading—it’s skyrocketing.
With tracks focusing on business, design, tech, manufacturing, and social enterprise, the city is crawling with opportunity this week. And SendGrid is thrilled to be participating, attending, and hosting a number of events.

Yesterday, our CEO Jim Franklin was a panelist at the NCWIT Diversity in Tech discussion, officially kicking off a busy week for SendGrid.
Next up, today, we’re happy to be organizing the Startup Job Fair. About 40 startups will be attending so it’s a great opportunity for job seekers to get a firsthand look at what makes some of Denver’s most high-profile startups tick. Be sure to stop by SendGrid’s booth for some swag and networking and stay up to date with happenings at the event by following our HR team on Twitter (@SendGridJobs).
