See some old friends and take advantage of the opportunity to make some new ones in the Denver and Boulder marketing and advertising communities.
At Colorado’s first Google Demo Day at Galvanize, sixteen Colorado startups had three minutes to pitch their budding businesses to a panel of judges including the creme de la creme of Denver tech, media, and business. These startup CEOs participated in gDemo Day in hopes of winning a trip to California and a chance to pitch their business to Google.
The OnSight team helped publicize the event, which featured 16 new companies (half which are helmed by women) pitching ideas that would revolutionize everything from parking spaces and farm-to-table restaurants to dating websites and water usage to a panel of judges consisting of a who’s-who of Denver tech, media, and business.
Sixteen startups, 3 minutes each (give or take) and 2 hours. Okay, make that 3. Galvanize’s first-ever Colorado Demo Day ended Thursday night with the crowd gathered around the bar as judges took about 15 minutes to make their decisions.
Congrats to the three winners — Native, RXRevu and Conspire – who now get to travel to California and make a pitch to Google! (Last year’s hand-picked winner from Galvanize, GoSpotCheck, nabbed a $100,000 investment from judge Steve Case of AOL fame.)
Native re-introduces and updates the personal travel agent for the 21st century traveler. RXRevu allows you to compare and research prescription drugs from a simple app on your phone. Conspire harnesses the power of your email contacts by creating a social network from those connections.
Congratulations to the winners! And good luck in California!

Some governors have a black-tie gala with foie gras and filet mignon, where attendees wear tuxes and ball gowns, but not John Hickenlooper. For his second inaugural celebration, Governor John Hickenlooper did things a little different. Following a jam-packed day including the swearing-in ceremony, a breakfast with young scholars, and more, Hickenlooper combined his love of music, craft beer, and a good party for the final event of the night. He brought in and played with some of Colorado’s best musical acts for an inaugural concert at the Ogden Theater.
Before breaking out his banjo skills with The String Cheese Incident, Gov. Hickenlooper commented on the brewing-themed Western snap-button shirt he had picked out for the occasion, saying “I hope people can see the hops.”
Denise Baron (though not a cyclist) joins the OnSight team!
OnSight Public Affairs is proud to announce that Denise Baron is joining their team. Baron’s experience in strategic communications, political campaigns, and legislative advocacy make her a valuable addition to the team. Baron most recently served as Deputy Campaign Manager and Communications Director for Andrew Romanoff’s congressional campaign in one of the country’s most closely watched races of the 2014 midterms.
I’m excited to join the OnSight team and start contributing to projects that impact and benefit Colorado,” Baron said. “Joining their team is an honor and challenge that I’m ready to take on.”
OnSight Public Affairs was founded by Mike Melanson and Ben Davis in 2009 following Mark Udall’s successful campaign for U.S. Senate. The firm’s services include project management, strategy development, communications and message development, as well as online and social media strategies. OnSight’s team members have successfully integrated their strengths into a diverse array of projects including Governor Hickenlooper’s successful re-election campaign, protecting Colorado brewers and small businesses, and helping Google make Colorado even more “Googley”.
Having worked in political communications on the municipal, state, and federal levels, Baron brings unique insight, experience, and talent to the OnSight team. In the last three federal elections, Baron has gained experience in every aspect of political campaigns with a specialization in communications.
In hiring Baron, OnSight has made an exception to their habit of hiring mountain bikers. While Baron has not ridden a bike in 15 years, the team is confident in their ability to change this.
