Spark the Springs is an initiative of the Venture Attractor® at UCCS. The Venture Attractor® was created with the goal of driving entreprenuerial expansion in Colorado Springs. Through the development of the Scale to $1M Boot-Up Camp™, we help ventures build a solid foundation for scaling their business. Upon completition of the Boot-Up Camp ventures pitch for a chance to win a Torch Grant. After selecting the Torch Grant recipients, we bring together the community and celebrate what it means to be an entrepreneur. That is Spark the Springs.
