About this Event

FREE Human × AI Business Innovation Day
Don’t leave Startup Week with more ideas. Leave knowing your next move.

What could change in your business if you gave yourself one focused day to work ON it instead of IN it?

During Colorado Startup Week, we’re bringing together founders, entrepreneurs, business owners, experts, and leaders for a FREE Human × AI Business Innovation Day designed around one goal:


Help you build a clearer, stronger, more scalable business—and leave knowing what to do next.

This is not another day of AI hype, endless tool demonstrations, or passive presentations.

We’re creating a practical, interactive business-building experience focused on the challenges that actually determine whether a business grows:

Strategy. Scale. Visibility. Messaging. Sales. AI leverage. Leadership. Execution. Connections.


🔥 Learn From Someone Who Has Actually Scaled

One of our featured presenters is Scott Sullivan, a founder and AI strategist who founded and scaled a company beyond $100 million.

Scott also brings insights from 3,400+ stages and presentations, giving him a unique perspective on growth, leadership, communication, influence, and what technology can—and cannot—replace.

Among the conversations he’ll lead:


Lessons From Scaling a $100M+ Business

Explore the founder bottlenecks AI won’t fix—and what really has to change as a company grows.


3,400 Stages Later

Discover what AI can never replace, what leaders should automate, and why authentic human communication becomes even more valuable in an AI-powered world.

Scott will be joined by Mamie-Jean Lamley and Dr. Eric Goodman for a day combining real-world business experience, messaging and visibility strategy, Human-Centered AI, and practical execution.


What Will We Work On?

Throughout the day, we’ll explore questions like:


🎯 STRATEGY

Where should you actually focus next?

Instead of chasing every new AI capability, identify the opportunities most likely to save time, generate revenue, improve the customer experience, or remove friction from your business.


📈 SCALE

What is really preventing your business from growing?

Technology can accelerate a good operating system—but it can also accelerate confusion. We’ll look at the founder bottlenecks, decisions, systems, and behaviors that have to change as a business grows.


👁️ VISIBILITY + MESSAGING

Can people quickly understand why they should choose you?

Explore how to sharpen your message, position your expertise, increase visibility, and make it easier for the right customers and partners to understand your value.


💰 SALES + HIGH-VALUE CONVERSATIONS

What if you walked into important meetings dramatically better prepared?

Explore practical ways to use AI for prospect research, partnership conversations, sales preparation, follow-up, proposals, and other high-stakes business opportunities.


🤖 HUMAN × AI

Where should AI take work off your plate—and where should humans remain firmly in control?

We’ll focus on AI as business leverage, while protecting judgment, trust, relationships, creativity, and the human capabilities that technology cannot replace.


LIVE BUSINESS PROBLEM-SOLVING

Bring a real challenge from your business.

During our AI Execution Jam, we’ll select business problems from the room and work through them live using a combination of human judgment + AI-powered problem-solving.

Your challenge might involve:

Sales.
Marketing.
Operations.
Messaging.
Customer experience.
Productivity.
Strategy.
AI implementation.
Growth.


Don’t just learn about someone else’s business. Bring yours into the conversation.
Imagine Leaving With…

✅ Greater clarity about your next 90 days
✅ A high-value AI opportunity identified
✅ A growth bottleneck finally recognized
✅ A stronger message or positioning strategy
✅ A smarter approach to an important prospect or opportunity
✅ New ideas for generating visibility and leads
✅ A real business problem moved forward
✅ New relationships with founders, collaborators, referral partners, and potential clients
✅ A much clearer answer to:


“What should I do next?”
And Then We Head to the Rooftop…

The structured business-building program runs:


8:00 AM–5:00 PM

Then from:


🥂 5:00–6:30 PM — Rooftop Social + Networking

we’ll shift from sessions to conversations.

Meet other founders, entrepreneurs, business owners, experts, and leaders. Continue conversations from the day. Explore collaborations. Build referral relationships. Meet a potential customer or strategic partner.

Because sometimes the breakthrough comes from what you learn.

And sometimes it comes from who you meet because you were in the room.


Who Should Attend?

This day is designed for:

Founders • Entrepreneurs • Small Business Owners • Consultants • Experts • Coaches • Authors • Speakers • Startup Teams • Business Leaders

You do not need to be technical.

You do not need to be an AI expert.

You simply need to be interested in building a stronger business and understanding how AI can help you do it more intelligently.
