In this episode of The Bear Roars, Dan Caruso sits down with Zeb King—Managing Director of Endeavor Colorado and one of the most quietly influential figures in Colorado's tech ecosystem—for a conversation about the impact of founders across the state and around the world.
Zeb explains what Endeavor Global is: a 27-year-old nonprofit built on the belief that world-class entrepreneurship can flourish anywhere, not just Silicon Valley or New York. He walks through the peer-to-peer model that powers it, the multiplier effect first proven in Chile and Argentina, and why Colorado's portfolio of quantum, space, biotech, and digital infrastructure companies has everyone paying close attention.
Dan and Zeb dig into the companies that make Colorado's tech scene so compelling right now and why Colorado may be on track to become an official Endeavor Global Hub for deep tech, joining London, Singapore, Dubai, and New York.
And yes—they talk cycling. Because in Boulder, cycling isn't just a hobby. It's how the most important business relationships get built.
