This is why the answer is to focus on growing locally. Denver's biggest strength is in drawing creative people to the city. We need to foster their ability to create home-grown companies.
What we need to do is get our absolutely horrific city government out of the way. We are one of two cities on the planet that are taxing software as a service (Austin is the other). My company was just hit with a property tax assessment for property that we don't even own (the city just "estimated" it). Don't get me started on Denver's occupational use tax.
This city puts a ton of roadblocks in the way of entrepreneurship. Which is driving people back to Boulder (Talent Riot just cancelled a planned move to the city). The city leadership is, unfortunately, 100% tone-def on the issue.
