Where Bold Ideas Take Root
This is Colorado’s moment to become the launchpad for education innovation. We’re building a thriving ecosystem where innovators can translate big ideas into lasting impact with the resources, coaching, and community they need to thrive.
Innovation Doesn't Thrive in Isolation
Too many bold school models close before they take root. Founders are asked to do it all—fundraising, compliance, leadership, and learning design—without support, visibility, or resources. The result? Burnout and brilliant ideas lost before they can grow.
CultivatED exists to change that.
A Growing Hub for Education Innovation
Just as Boulder and Silicon Valley became hubs for tech startups, Colorado has the talent, vision, and momentum to lead the nation in building the future of learning.
