Founder Co-Working & VC Office Hours 💻🤝
About This Event
Welcome to the unofficial Anti-Boondoggle Boondoggle Club.
It's Wednesday morning. BSW is in full swing. You've got 25 unread messages that all say "we should grab coffee" and a week so packed it's hard to find time to actually get work done.
We've taken over all of Rosetta Hall and turned it into a focused morning of real work and real conversations. Pull up a laptop, get some work done, grab a slot with an investor, or just come for the coffee and the company — and the founders you'll meet along the way. All three are valid.
Already have a meeting on the books in Boulder that morning? You're more than welcome to bring it here. The room will be full of energy and the coffee will be hot, and you might just walk out with three more conversations worth having.
This is Boulder Startup Week's Wednesday morning anchor — right in the middle of the week, when the real ones are still locked in.
💡 VC Office Hours — How It Works
Each investor is hosting open 15-minute slots during their window. We're keeping it analog — pen, paper, and a sign-up sheet at each table. Old school on purpose. Show up, write your name down, and have a real conversation. Hot takes, honest feedback, genuine questions — that's what this is for.
A few ground rules:
The sign-up sheet is the system. Respect it, trust it, don't work around it.
Two slots per person, max. Be intentional with your connections and leave room for others.
Be present, then move on. Your slot is yours. The next one belongs to someone else.
No cornering investors. If it's not your time, it's not your time.
First come, first served — another good reason to show up at 8:00 AM sharp. ☕

💻 Co-Working
Rosetta Hall is set up for real work. Good wifi, quiet corners, multiple levels including a rooftop tier — and if the weather cooperates, you'll be getting work done in the Colorado sunshine. ☀️
Bring whatever you're working on. The vibe is heads-down with good energy around you. Some people will be in back-to-back investor meetings. Others will be cranking through their todo list with a bagel and a coffee. And some will just be talking to whoever sits down next to them. All of it is the point.
One thing that makes shared spaces work:
Hold your space loosely. If you step away, don't barricade a table for two hours.
🗓️ Schedule
8:00 AM → Doors open. Fresh ☕ coffee and 🥯 bagels ready. Laptops out.
8:00 to 11:00 AM → Co-working and investor office hours in full swing
11:00 AM → We wrap up and hand the keys back. Rosetta Hall goes back to being a very good food hall 🍽️ — and there's nothing stopping you from spending the entire day there.
📌 A few notes
This is for current founders, future founders, and everyone in between. No pitch required to walk in the door. If you want to spend a morning working alongside other builders, this is your place.
As we say at Drive: it only takes one conversation to change your life.
Registration is required — helps us plan food and means you'll get updates if anything changes.
