Square 1 Bank has officially opened their office in Boulder with Ken Fugate moving to town full time. Bob Van Nortwick – one of Square 1’s founders – had done an awesome job of pioneering the Colorado market for Square, providing solid and constructive competition for the other main early stage banker in the area – Silicon Valley Bank. We work with (and love) both banks – and I’m delighted that there is a healthy enough entrepreneurial ecosystem in my backyard to support both of them.
