The companies in this year’s class represent the ever-growing and diversifying entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our companies come from all over the country and bring unique skills, background and expertise to Boulder this summer. While individually different, they are all fueled by an unquenchable desire to improve the world by solving big problems.
This year’s class includes companies that are focused on helping brides get the dress they dream of (while staying within their budget) to enabling any child to make music to wearables that notify a loved one if you feel unsafe to helping home buyers/sellers save money and many more. These 10 companies stood out for their drive and passion to do something great and it’s a true honor and privilege to work with them.
We’re very excited to introduce the Techstars Boulder 2015 class:
adHawk: A mobile app that provides a bird’s eye view of all your digital marketing data in one place.
Blazing DB: An SQL database at supercomputer speeds that’s incredibly easy to use.
Edify: Empower every kid in the world to make their own music.
Flytedesk: A platform for buying and selling uncollected media, starting with college newspapers.
HobbyDB: The definitive database for collectors and hobbyists to manage and monetize their collections.
MadKudu: Data science that helps sales and support teams fight customer churn.
Revolar: The world’s smartest personal safety wearable device keeps you safe anytime, anywhere.
Stryd: The world’s first running power meter that helps runners improve their performance.
TRELORA: A commission-free real estate company, replacing percentage-based commissions with one flat fee.

This project aims to address the vulnerability of urban communities to climate change in three medium-sized cities: San Salvador (El Salvador), Kingston (Jamaica) and Xalapa (Mexico) through the implementation of ecosystem-based adaptation approaches and their integration into urban planning.
In San Salvador, a degraded watershed will be restored with reforestation and conservation agriculture approaches. This will reduce runoff and erosion during heavy rainfall and increase ground water recharge.

The beaver dams a stream creating a pond that grows cattails to support the red-winged blackbirds as the deepening waterholds fish and aquatic plants for waterfowl, including this Trumpeter swan.
The “Treedom “ engages the relationship of nature to the artificial forms of the urban environment. My photographs explore the natural and uncontrolled growth of trees on places, which temporary escaped the determination of a human hand. It reveals the dilemma between organism and mechanism.
The complexity of the ecosystem found in the organism of the forest is based on the ability of the tree to relate and respond to its surrounding. A tree develops it self site-specifically, following the context of its place. On the other hand the mechanism of the culture constructs concepts and technology that are intervening abstractly in to the natural cycles. They are overpowering the site’s dynamic. The nature in the cities is limited to decorative controlled zones that have little in common with nature in its original state.
In Treedom I am interested in situations where the trees start to act independently interacting with the artificial environment as they would with the natural surroundings in the woods. They create spectacular forms of existence by developing symbiosis with the artificial structures. Some are leaving marks while others are being cut down and eliminated by paving. I see in the seemingly destructive effect of the entropy a creative potential of the nature to transform and balance the alienated environment.
This is a photograph of the sun, an abiotic component of this terrestrial ecosystem, shining through the trees. Unlike abiotic factors in aquatic ecosystems, abiotic factors in terrestrial ecosystems cannot create cultural eutrophication.
First results in my investigations on ecology and art. I made them with water, plants and animals from the highly contaminated but still very beautiful Xochimilco canals. They were gifts to people who have to take care of them by controlling the light they receive. (Or maybe they are just ecospheres).
