The CanopyBoulder team is hard at work sorting through over 100 applications to find the 10 best companies. The selection committee is evaluating first and foremost on founder qualifications and founding team dynamics. Other considerations include the business idea, area of focus, scalability, and of course the legality of the project (CanopyBoulder only invests in ancillary products and services).

The evaluation process is challenging and rewarding at the same time. There are fascinating stories behind founders and ideas, including some funny ones and others driven by more somber considerations like health and wellness.

Selections will be made by mid-February and every candidate will receive a status update by then with some brief feedback.
