Boulder, Colo., a Magnet for High-Tech Start-Ups
By CLAIRE CAIN MILLER/The New York Times
BOULDER, Colo. — Sixty engineers, entrepreneurs and financiers were sipping yerba mate tea at a coffee shop down the street from a bong-and-lingerie store on a recent sunny Tuesday in Boulder, and discussing how Boulder — usually seen as an enclave of hippies, marijuana dispensaries and rock climbers — has become a hotbed of capitalism.
Technology entrepreneurs meet at a twice-a-month coffee club.
Experienced tech entrepreneurs and investors sat alongside people who had just moved to Boulder hoping to start a company in this small city, which is breeding tech start-ups at an attention-grabbing rate. In the first three months of the year, 11 Colorado tech start-ups raised $57 million in venture capital, solidifying Boulder’s place among the country’s up-and-coming tech centers.
“In Silicon Valley, you’re a small fish in a huge pond, and it didn’t seem as collaborative and a lot more corporate,” said Chad McGimpsey, who moved to Boulder a month ago and is now a regular at the twice-a-month coffee club. “Here, you’re a big fish in a small pond. Plus, there are the mountains.”
A long list of communities around the country have tried to become “the next Silicon Valley.” But very few have the mix of money, universities, a high-tech talent pool and appealing lifestyle needed to hatch tech start-ups. Boulder, however, has been luring tech industry veterans and young entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley and Manhattan with promises of a tech community that allows for lunch-break hikes in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
The town’s big successes include Rally Software, a fast-growing company that makes project management software; Socialthing, a social media service acquired by AOL; and Kerpoof, which makes Web design tools for children and was acquired by the Walt Disney Company.
Venture capital dollars are following the entrepreneurs to Colorado. From 2007 to 2009, venture capitalists invested $1.9 billion in 275 Colorado start-ups, up from $1.6 billion in 247 companies from 2004 to 2006, according to the National Venture Capital Association. The money is coming from Colorado venture firms — including the Foundry Group, a prominent firm in Boulder — as well as from Silicon Valley and New York.
The recipes of other cities for creating the next Silicon Valley usually leave out a few main ingredients. Richard Florida, who wrote “The Rise of the Creative Class” and studies why certain cities foster creativity, cites three crucial factors: talented people and a high quality of life that keeps them around, technological expertise, and an open-mindedness about new ways of doing things, which often comes from a strong counterculture.
“Boulder has reached this beautiful sweet spot, where it has many advantages of a university town — tech and talent and openness — but without many of the costs and traffic and congestion that may disadvantage incumbent centers of innovation,” Mr. Florida said.
This balance did not come about accidentally. Natural foods companies like Wild Oats Markets and Celestial Seasonings started here, and several national labs and big-tech companies like I.B.M. opened outposts. Early on, the biotech, telecom and data storage industries took off in Boulder, bolstered by Sun Microsystems’s $4.1 billion acquisition of Storage Technology in 2005.
“That generation of entrepreneurs had their success, and importantly, they don’t leave,” said Brad Bernthal, director of the entrepreneurship initiative at the University of Colorado Silicon Flatirons Center. “Lots of places, you get your money and you go retire somewhere. This place is a destination for people.”
The center makes sure that those veterans cross paths with young entrepreneurs. It hosts meet-ups, a campuswide business plan competition and a law clinic, where entrepreneurs get free legal help on things like intellectual property protection.
TechStars, a three-month mentorship program that has taken place in an old gym in Boulder since 2007, has spurred the start-up community’s growth. Of the first 10 companies that went through the program, eight received venture funding, five were acquired by bigger companies and three are still active. But David Cohen, the founder of TechStars, is equally proud of one of its failures, because he said it showed how supportive Boulder’s tech community is. After EventVue, which built online communities for conferences, shut down, job offers from other tech companies came pouring in.
Almost half of the 30 companies that have gone through the TechStars program have decided to stay in town. Several of them share space — tiny offices and a big common room, kitchen and deck — above Aji, a Latin American restaurant downtown.
One is Everlater, for making travel journals on the Web. Its founders, Nate Abbott and Natty Zola, moved to Boulder to save money by living in their parents’ basements after quitting their jobs on Wall Street. But when they arrived, Mr. Zola said, “We realized it was an incredible place to start a company.”
The Foundry partners, even though they are not investors in the company, routinely give them an hour of their time or have them over for dinner. A relationship with a TechStars mentor led to a partnership with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
The Foundry partners also run the coffee club and hold office hours, where anyone can meet with them for free advice on their business idea.
Still, Boulder depends on Silicon Valley. There are not enough investors in Colorado to finance growing companies. Many entrepreneurs open California offices, including Matt Galligan, who started and sold Socialthing and is now the founder of SimpleGeo, which makes mapping and other location tools for software companies.
“The community here is terrific, but in terms of generating business, there’s no substitute for Silicon Valley,” he said.
Though the University of Colorado has opened to the tech community, it plays nowhere near the pivotal role that Stanford does. “Creating a culture somewhat like M.I.T. or Stanford, where it’s expected in the technical disciplines that you will do a start-up, or at least it’s not looked at askew, is not part of the faculty DNA in most departments yet,” Mr. Bernthal said.
And maintaining such an inviting culture, where top venture capitalists will freely give people an hour of their time, will be difficult if Boulder’s tech scene continues to grow.
Still, many tech types in Boulder move here precisely because they want to escape Silicon Valley and its institutionalized tech scene. “There is a feeling in Silicon Valley that if you win, someone else loses,” said Kimbal Musk, chief executive of OneRiot, a real-time search engine based in Boulder. “It has driven success, but it has also driven people to leave.”
NEOM smack-dab middle growing market for years!
From Small Cap Network:
"By Dennis Askew
NEOM is smack-dab in the middle of what I believe will be a growing market for years; QR Codes and Barcodes aimed at smartphones with a camera that can 1) lead the user where they want to go; and 2) provide discount pricing to products and services.
While the ‘connect-the-links’ is a convenience, the proliferation of retailers using QR and bar codes is on the increase because it’s a way to reward mobile users for making a purchase wherever they are; hopefully not behind the wheel.
NeoMedia Technologies transforms mobile phones with cameras into barcode scanners, which provide instant access to mobile Web content whenever a barcode is scanned.
Remember when you first saw those square, Celtic-puzzle-looking designs pooping up on web sites and printed advertising material and thought (?). Well brands and advertisers were testing the waters of reaching out to mobile customers and NEOM infrastructure facilitates the technology: Transforming mobile phones with cameras into barcode scanners.
Take or capture a QR code or a barcode via your phone and a user is whisked away to a web site instantaneously and here’s the catch that really caught on during these past holidays, and is what I believe a growth model for providers like NEOM: get a discount on the costs of products and services. Brands, advertisers, and retailers see the potentials…
The NEOM mobile barcode ecosystem software reads and transmits data from one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) barcodes to its intended destination. The code management and clearinghouse platforms create, connect, record, and transmit the transactions embedded in the barcodes.
So the Company has a big market to grow into and the two news items: A new CFO and NeoMedia's relocation to Boulder, Colorado. Fresh thinking in management and a bigger talent pool to draw on are two solid ways for the Company to position itself in a growing market."
Go Laura in 2012!
Laura Marriott, CEO of NeoMedia: “2012 promises to be another big year for mobile barcodes, and we expect to be in the middle of it.”

Will we see many announcements of deals in 2012?
18. NEOM has been completely reliant upon YA for funding- this has decimated shareholder value while propping up the company. What plans are there in place for reversing this trend- paying back YA while delivering on your promise to represent all shareholders?
19. Looking at past CEO's: Copus: brought in by YA when PPS was much higher, then bought up companies with NEOM stock and sealed the downward spiral of shareholder value... Hoffman: said that the company value based upon patents, etc. was easily 300million- no traction and left... McCready: stated that he was here because of his ability to find financing- obviously failed and left... now LM, making some 388k a year with a continued plan to educate on codes... based upon these less than successful past leaders, how is LM's approach an improvement and, even after years of 'educating', why has it not reaped financial benefits for the company and stockholders?
20. What is the current plan for monetizing patents and company reliance on those patents?
21. NDA's have been either speculated upon or outright stated by the company as to the reason for lack of news regarding partnerships, customers, etc. IF these are truly in place, even as unnamed collaborations, why is revenue from business continually a pittance of what this space is capable of supplying?
22. The company moved from Fort Meyers to Atlanta to improve its image, transportation options and visability.. it 'opened' offices in NYC for sales and to be close to the business center of the US. It has offices in Germany. Why haven't these moves panned out, and why is a move to Boulder an improvement? What do you hope to benefit from with such a move?
23. Gavitec. What is the rationale for funding this aspect of the business and what is it doing for NEOM now and in the future.

Laura Marriott's mobile predictions 2012
From hotpeppermarketing.com:
“2012 will see a noticeable shift towards the mobile Web. Given the ubiquity of the web cross platform, the cost associated with developing apps across multiple platform operating systems and the experiences which can be provided via mobile Web, marketers will move away from platform specific applications and towards developing rich, mobile Web experiences.
This rise in mobile Web will contribute to an overall rise of mobile bar codes. Mobile bar codes make it easier than ever for consumers to connect to the mobile Web, enabling a one-scan connection for the consumer rather than typing cumbersome and often lengthy URLs.
Mobile bar codes will continue to be a change agent to simplify the dialogue between consumers and marketers and ease access to mobile Web experiences.”

Mobile Marketing Getting Defragmented, Better Defined: MFON, NEOM, & GOOG Are Prototypical
by By Matthew Briar/SmallCapNetwork
Published: January 11, 2012
For as much progress as the mobile marketing industry made in 2011, it's still fragmented... and investors are still trying to get a bead on how to play it. Good news though - NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC:NEOM), CommerceTel Corporation (OTC:MFON), and Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) provide the bigger-picture framework investors need to grasp where it's all going.
Here's a look at the three legs of mobile marketing that are emerging as clear and sustainable themes; most of the other touted 'big' aspects were more bark than bite. And yes, GOOG, NEOM, and MFON are positioned to become or remain leaders in their respective categories.
Mobile Payments/GOOG
When Google first introduced its mobile wallet in September of last year, it came with a lot of fanfare. The hype lost its luster pretty quickly though, suggesting onlookers were curious about the novelty, but ultimately didn't care to actually use it. Still, Google's digital payment system that allows smartphone users to make at-store payments just using their mobile device has been getting traction;
While the adoption has been slow, industry experts still expect the mobile phone payment industry to transact $1 trillion worth of sales - annually - beginning in 2014.
Engagement/MFON
This may be the trickiest aspect of the mobile marketing business, as it also requires the most creativity and business acumen... more than just mere technology. But, it's right up CommerceTel Corporation's alley.
As too many companies learned in the late 90's and early 2000's, just having a website isn't enough - companies have to do something with it. Anything. Just get the user engaged. (This was previously - and broadly - referred to as Web 2.0). Though the idea has migrated from the web to mobile phones, the challenge remains... how can organizations use the platform to truly engage a browser/surfer/watcher to convert them into paying customers or participants? A company like MFON can make it happen. In fact, it has.
CommerceTel created a virtual world that immersed fans of TV's 'Heroes' into the dram itself, by allowing them to dial up one of the show's fictitious companies, and garnering smartphone users who wanted info and updates on the show (like schedules or reminders) via SMS. CommerceTel can also handle the text-in voting process you see on TV contest shows like 'Dancing With the Stars'. Most recently, the company announced it would be doing mobile-couponing work for select Hooters restaurants in South Africa. A website may be the storefront, but engagement pays the bills.
Barcode Advertisement/NEOM
This is the technology that turns a smartphone (the camera inside it, actually) into a barcode reader that retrieves more detailed information about a particular product on that handheld device. These barcodes are found on product boxes and magazine pages just to name a few. Much like Google Wallet, the technology - primarily offered by NeoMedia Technologies for now - was written off as an interesting curiosity, but ultimately a fad that didn't have a real meaningful revenue-bearing future. Dan Frommer's commentary "Death To The QR Code" really hammers it.
A funny thing happened on the way to the barcode's funeral though - usage of them continued to swell. As it turns out, 28% of smartphone users have scanned these barcodes to pull up more information about a product... a number that's impressive considering most smartphone users don't even realize the application is valuable, and that most product packaging and advertising still doesn't offer such a barcode. So no, it's not going away. As it stands right now though, NeoMedia Technologies is the only major name offering the technology that connects products with consumers in a way that wasn't available prior to web-enabled phones.
Encryption
One of the early criticisms of Google Wallet is that it fails to encrypt all of a user's personal data. The concern underscores the need for an effective and secure NFC (near field communication) chip, which surprisingly isn't one of the defragmented standards being applied to the mobile ecosystem yet. Samsung has made strides on this front, but the fog here is still much thicker than it is for mobile payments, barcode advertising, and user engagement.
Bottom Line
To be fair, Google, CommerceTel, and NeoMedia Technologies aren't the only game in town in these three arenas. They're clear frontrunners though, and the mobile marketing space has room for all three of them to be successful.
Some investors may be quick to conclude that the only name of the three - and the only aspect of the three - that truly falls into the 'mobile marketing engagement' category is MFON. But, these three distinct technologies are more related than they would appear to be on the surface. Barcodes lead users to web pages or contests, which leads to engagement (like mobile couponing), which leads to a purchase. Mobile marketing is on the verge of driving a customer into a store where they learn more about a particular product, so much so that they end up buying it with a near-field communication transaction; they're all connected, and in more than one way. The biggest beneficiaries of the almost-revolution are going to be driving in one of these three lanes... and GOOG, MFON, and NEOM are at the front of the line.

NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. is the global leader in mobile barcode scanning solutions. The company`s technology allows mobile devices with cameras to read 1D and 2D barcodes and provide “one click” access to mobile content. Combining this technology with advanced analytics and reporting capabilities revolutionizes the way advertisers market to mobile consumers. NeoMedia provides the infrastructure to make 2D camera barcode scanning and its associated commerce easy, universal, and reliable — worldwide.NEOM News:January 10 – NeoMedia Partners with the National Crime Prevention Council and The CauseWay Agency to Deliver Groundbreaking Public Service Campaign About Intellectual Property TheftMobile Barcodes Drive People from Print Ads to Online Video, Activating an Engaging and Emotive Non-Profit Sector CampaignNeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: NEOM), the pioneer in mobile barcode management solutions, in collaboration with full-service marketing agency The CauseWay Agency, which works exclusively with the non-profit sector and government agencies, today announced its involvement in the new Intellectual Property (IP) Theft Prevention public education campaign, which is spearheaded by the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC), home of McGruff the Crime Dog®, and the United States Department of Justice.The IP Theft Prevention campaign, launched at The White House, has been developed with the aim of combatting the purchase and sale of counterfeit and pirated products and educating the public on various forms of IP theft, from counterfeit consumer goods and pharmaceuticals to illegal downloads and other pirated materials.NeoMedia has donated the use of its barcode management and infrastructure solution to the NCPC, which will feature a mobile barcode in the campaign’s printed ads and on posters and will link to “It Hurts”, an online video that demonstrates how IP theft is stealing. Any camera phone user who has downloaded mobile barcode readers can scan the code and view the video, which features young musician, Addie Brownlee, who plays her guitar to the commuting crowd in a subway station. At her feet is a guitar case open for donations, some loose bills are scattered inside. As she sings commuters gather around, but one by one they remove money from her guitar case.“We have always been impressed with the progressive and innovative methods the NCPC has adopted to help important cultural and social messages resonate with the public,” said Laura Marriott, Chief Executive Officer of NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. “The new IP Theft campaign really struck us as the perfect campaign to unleash the full potential of mobile barcodes and we are delighted that the NCPC has allowed us to participate and support them in delivering this high impact campaign.”“NCPC looks forward to another thirty years of memorable public education campaigns that will help inspire people to prevent crime. With this nationwide campaign, we hope to deter people from the act of intellectual property theft and use every opportunity to engage the public and call people to action. Mobile barcodes, while a relatively new technique in the marketing tool kit, have already proven to be extremely effective in raising a deeper awareness with the public than a traditional print campaign can achieve on its own,” said Michelle Boykins, Director of Communications at the NCPC. “We’re thrilled to have the support of NeoMedia, The CauseWay Agency and U.S. Department of Justice in making this campaign a success and are excited to see the results it will bring.”“This is the first time we have ever created a mobile barcode enabled campaign, and we are excited to see the impact it will have on this important campaign,” said Robert D. Schultz, President of The CauseWay Agency. “Using a mobile barcode to drive people from a print ad to online, will lead them deeper into the campaign and by connecting them to emotive video content we feel strongly that we will be able to get them to engage with the issue and bring to life the ramifications of IP theft and show that it’s not a victimless crime. This will definitely not be the last time we use mobile barcodes as a marketing tool for our clients and we’re looking forward to continuing to work closely with NeoMedia in the future.”The mobile barcode management and infrastructure solution used in the campaign, NeoSphereTM, provides a new and simple way for brands to use mobile barcodes and link them directly to the mobile Web in order to make any print or any static media immediately interactive, delivering a compelling brand experience that is targeted and measurable.
In the PR yesterday notice the following:
"
NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM.OB), the pioneer in mobile barcode management solutions, in collaboration with full-service marketing agency The CauseWay Agency , which works exclusively with the non-profit sector and government agencies, today announced its involvement in the new Intellectual Property (IP) Theft Prevention public education campaign, which is spearheaded by the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC), home of McGruff the Crime Dog, and the United States Department of Justice .
...This is the first time we have ever created a mobile barcode enabled campaign, and we are excited to see the impact it will have on this important campaign, said Robert D.

This will definitely not be the last time we use mobile barcodes as a marketing tool for our clients and we're looking forward to continuing to work closely with NeoMedia in the future."
The last sentence seems to be very interesting.

Marriott's 5 Bullish 2012 QR Code Predictions!
By Giselle Tsirulnik/Mobile Marketer
QR codes will dominate
Increasing smartphone penetration, greater consumer awareness and brand confidence will drive the growth of QR code adoption by both brands and consumers in 2012.
NeoMedia predicts that bar codes will be the dominant 2D symbology in 2012 and most used by marketers across all sectors.
QR codes front and center
Another interesting prediction NeoMedia made in 2012 is an expectation to see a rise in mobile bar code scanning applications integrated into brand and retail mobile marketing applications to enable greater consumer participation, expanded loyalty initiatives and overall enhanced consumer experience when in store.
Coupled with this, NeoMedia bets the industry will see hardware solutions at retail support mobile bar code scanning on a much wider basis in 2012.
Additionally, bar code campaigns will reach a level of unprecedented maturity in 2012. Bar code campaigns will be much more than simply a Web redirect and take center stage in campaign design, per NeoMedia.
1D scanning rises
At the same time as 2D scanning grows, 1D scanning for extended packaging, promotion, loyalty and advertising will also grow.
NeoMedia also predicts that major industry bodies, such as GS1, will continue to work to enhance the product information behind the scan, to ensure a more positive consumer experience and more accurate data.
The influence of bar code scanning on the consumer’s shopping habits will only continue to grow as marketers further engage with mobile bar codes.
Mobile Web takes center stage
The ubiquity of the mobile Web cross platform, cost associated with developing applications across multiple platforms and, the experiences enabled by a mobile Web environment will lead to a shift toward the mobile Web.
NeoMedia predicts that the rise in mobile Web will directly correlate to the rise of mobile bar codes.
Mobile bar codes make it easier than ever to connect to the mobile Web, no more typing cumbersome URLs.
U.S. emerges as market leader
According to NeoMedia, the United States market will rise to dominate mobile marketing globally as smartphones, tablets and other Internet-connected devices increasingly become ubiquitous.
In the U.S., expect smartphones to hold the lion’s share of the market by the end of 2012.

Poll: Where do you stand?
A number of posters see the glass as half full and are cautiously optimistic that 2012 will be a good year for Neomedia.
Others see the glass as half empty and they claim that this "POS" will go bankrupt by this summer.
Many of us agree that 2012 will be the year that will finally tell the story whether we're all geniuses investing in this company or idiots.
What's your prediction? Where do you stand? Are we all going to be filthy rich or are we going down in flames?
I'll say that we're going to look really smart. We'll all be financially very healthy by the end of 2012.
