PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMS

Strategic partnerships have elevated our reach and impact.

“BEN is the most valuable resource I have encountered in the Denver startup community. Since getting involved with BEN almost a year ago, I have grown more personally and professionally than I had during the prior three years as an entrepreneur. The main reason for this is the incredible people I have connected with through BEN who have been instrumental in my development and who genuinely want to see me succeed without any other agenda. Without them, this journey would be significantly more difficult, and I’m incredibly grateful that the organization exists.”

- Niki Koubourlis, DenSUN CEO
