The Top 100 Digital Employers in Colorado

We're happy to share Built In Colorado’s first ever ‘Top 100 Digital Companies’ list. The list catalogues Colorado’s top 100 employers in digital tech and shows an industry that has changed enormously in the last 10 years.

22 percent of the ‘Top 100’ companies have been around for less than five years and 51 percent have been around for less than 10 years. In total, the top 100 companies employ 10,523 people, an enormous sum considering how young many of them are. In response to the report, Governor John Hickenlooper said: "The trends in this data confirm the growth we have seen over the last few years — Colorado's technology landscape continues to grow at a very rapid pace and be a critical component of our economic success. We are thrilled so many digital companies are calling Colorado home and providing our workforce with fantastic employment opportunities in technology and so many other related industries."

Over 1,200 digital tech companies now call Colorado home. Reflecting Colorado’s strength developing enterprise products, 46 percent of the top 100 companies are focused on software and 20 percent are focused on B2B Web. Indeed, seven of the top 10 biggest tech employers in Colorado are B2B businesses. Of the top 10 biggest digital tech employers in Colorado, seven were formed slightly before or after the 1999 Internet bubble. For example, the largest digital tech employer in Colorado, HomeAdvisor was formed in 1999. The dotcom bubble is infamous for the companies that burst with it, but many viable companies also formed at that time, survived when things got tough and now are flourishing.

The top 100 digital tech employers are backed by almost $2.4 billion of investment. Investment in Colorado tech companies in recent years has been surging and breaking through records. Lately, growing venture capital investment across the United States has inspired a lot of talk about a second Internet bubble. If such a bubble does burst, the heft of Colorado companies focused on enterprise products — businesses that tend to be sustained on underlying revenue rather than speculative venture capital — should maintain their employee base better when the money dries up.

That should help Colorado tech sail through any headwinds coming. "As we look into our digital community, the scale, growth and most importantly, the velocity of our digital work force continues to substantiate Colorado as the digital hub between the coasts," said Erik Mitisek, CEO of the Colorado Tech Association. "With over 10,000 workers in the Top 100 companies, our digital economy is a clear economic leader for Colorado."

5 Steps To Follow For 2015 Sales Planning

2015 is upon us, whether it says so on the calendar or not. What we did in 2014 doesn’t count. 2015 is a new year with new opportunities.

Here are 5 keys to follow to help make the most of your sales potential in the year to come:

1. Allocate your calendar to spend time early in the year working on the big deals that are going to take time to close. The time to start is now. If it could take nine months to close the deal, the last thing you want to do is wait until July to start working on it.

2. Get management out visiting customers now. The tendency is for management to not visit customers until problems arise or at the end of the year when you’re chasing business. Switch it up and get them out early in the year. Making sales calls with management will allow you to gain insights and information from customers you’ll be able to leverage throughout the year.

3. Set appointments with all of your current customers for the first two weeks of the New Year. Use the appointment as a way to review the past year and to plan with the customer the year ahead.

4. Take your planned price increase immediately at the start of the year. Don’t wait, thinking something is going to change. Do it now. If you’re planning to wait for something to change, you’ll end up waiting forever, and in turn, you’ll lose out on the incremental profit you would have gained from the price increase.

5. Drop the unprofitable customer from this past year. We all have at least one customer that generates zero profit due to all of the hoops we go through to take care of them. You didn’t like them in 2014, so what makes you think you’ll suddenly start liking them in 2015? The sooner you drop them, the sooner you’ll be able to focus your efforts against better customers. There you have it – 5 keys to making 2015 one of your best years yet! The bonus is that these are healthy habits you can implement every year to build momentum and profit.
