I recently moved back home from Seattle, and just a few weeks ago attended the Denver Startup Week sessions looking for investment ideas.  One impression I had, was that Colorado entrepreneurs are incredibly energetic, nice, and enthusiastic - but seemed, at least on first impressions, to have unimaginative ideas. It's a great social scene, but not an environment throwing off a vibe that seems particularly productive as a startup hub. It was fun hanging out, and talking, but nobody talked about details of implementing their ideas, and instead it felt like I was at a marketing seminar.  This, despite all the press saying Denver is the next Si Valley.  Additionally, far too many of the people I met had ideas focusing on cannabis, various food and drink ideas, or tweaks on something that has a thousand companies around the world having already tried.  In other words, not one single idea or startup was a company I thought might succeed, and worthy of investing.  Where is the imagination?
